Biochemical fingerprints of salivary gland for some ticks species in Egypt by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophresis.
SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis as a sensitive method is used for simultaneously comparing the total protein extracted from salivary glands in some ticks species (Argas percsicus, Hyalomm antolicum excavatum, H. an. antolicum, H. dromedarii, H. impeltatum and Rhipicephalus sanguineus). Results of A. persicus were characterized by 4 bands with molecular weights ranging from 82.76 to 16.076 KD. On the other hand, H. an. excavatum females were characterized by 6 bands with molecular weights ranging from 103.74 to 6.216 KD. H. an. antolicun males were characterized by 5 bands with molecular weights ranging from 79.183 to 2.092 KD. R. sanguineus was characterized by 4 and 8 bands with molecular weights ranging from 88.864 to 6.216 KD and 126.69 to 7.112 KD for male and female respectively. Female H. impeltatum was characterized by 8 bands with a range of molecular weights from 106.96 to 7.829 KD. H. dromedarii was characterized by 4 & 7 bands with ranges of molecular weights from 88.147 to 4.602 KD and 110.20 to 2.630 KD for male and female respectively.
