Necator americanus secretome - In the current project we have carried out the first proteogenomic analysis of a parasitic helminth

ABSTRACT: In the current project we have carried out the first proteogenomic analysis of a parasitic helminth. This has allowed us to significantly improve the genome annotation and provide a robust characterisation of the ES proteome from the adult N. americanus. Our findings show important information on key families of proteins with both known and unknown functions which may be instrumental for host-parasite interactions, parasite survival and immune regulation. Description of these proteins is useful for informing future identification of vaccine and drug targets, diagnostics and novel therapeutics for treating autoimmune and allergic diseases.
