Surveying the Vampire Bat ( Desmodus rotundus ) Serum Proteome: A Resource for Identifying Immunological Proteins and Detecting Pathogens

Abstract excerpt

Bats are increasingly studied as model systems for longevity and as natural hosts for some virulent viruses. Yet the ability to characterize immune mechanisms of viral tolerance and to quantify infection dynamics in wild bats is often limited by small sample volumes and few species-specific reagents. Here, we demonstrate how proteomics can overcome these limitations by using data-independent acquisition-based...
