Proteomic analyses of D. immitis infected NSG mouse tissues. Principal component analyses (PCA) of plasma (a) and urine (c) illustrate changes in the proteome over time that are consistent within and between batches of mice and larva. Heat maps of the 28 proteins significantly altered in plasma (b) and 57 proteins significantly altered in urine (d) recapitulate the PCA analyses, displaying distinct proteomes at progressive timepoints in the infection. A general feature appears to be a downward trend in protein expression across plasma and urine as infection progresses.
