Ixodes scapularis Tick Saliva Proteins Sequentially Secreted Every 24 h during Blood Feeding
Fig 2
Relative abundance of host (rabbit) protein classes in I. scapularis tick saliva during and after feeding.
Total normalized spectral abundance factor (NSAF) for each protein class is expressed as a percent of total NSAF per time point. A key is provided listing the 18 classes of proteins identified in tick saliva as host-derived proteins.
