Table 1 Number of unique proteins identified in the midgut fractions from Ornithodoros moubata fasted females (unfed group) and from engorged females after 48 h post-feeding (fed group). Redundant identifications and contaminants have been excluded. Soluble and insoluble fractions are the supernatants and pellets, respectively, after a centrifugation of midgut homogenates at 100,000× g
