<i>Ag</i> MESH, a peritrophic matrix-associated protein embedded in <i>Anopheles gambiae</i> melanotic capsules modulates malaria parasite infection

2021-05-08

Abstract excerpt

Melanins are structurally complex pigments produced by organisms in all domains of life. In insects, melanins are essential for survival and have key roles in cuticle sclerotization, wound healing and innate immunity. In this study, we used a diverse set of molecular, biochemical, and imaging approaches to characterize mosquito melanin involved in innate immune defense (melanotic capsules). We observed that melano...
