Mosquito protein microassay. I. Protein determinations from small portions of single-mosquito homogenates.
A microassay is described for determining protein levels in individual mosquitoes. This method requires only a small portion of a homogenate of a single mosquito. Protein levels in Anopheles albimanus are positively correlated with body weight. Protein levels for different geographic strains of Anopheles albimanus and different generations of laboratory rearings are compared.
