Comparative total proteomics of oocyst sporozoites and salivary gland sporozoites. Total protein from purified aP. falciparum or bP. yoelii sporozoites isolated from oocysts or salivary glands was separated by a gradient SDS-PAGE, digested with trypsin, extracted, and analyzed by LC–MS. Protein abundance is presented as the log2 of the normalized spectral abundance factor (NSAF), a label-free quantification approach that enables comparison of relative protein abundance within and between samples. Proteins with statistically significant differences in abundance are noted with red dots, and expression percentile thresholds are provided by dashed lines. Proteins that were only detected in oocyst sporozoites or salivary gland sporozoites are boxed in light blue and purple dashed lines, respectively. Notable proteins are labeled
