Animal ID number is assigned by the SMASS at the time of sampling and sex (Female, Male), age class (Adult, Juvenile) and cause of death are assigned at necropsy. ‘Gel bands’ indicate the number of individual protein bands excised from various gels from five individuals that were analysed using nLC-ESI MS/MS.
