Project description:As marine invertebrates, scallops lack adaptive immunity and employ innate immunity as the front line and almost the solo defense mechanism to protect them against invaders. Accumulating research achievements demonstrated that exosomes could act as innate immune effectors that contribute to host defense mechanism. To better understand the immune functions of exosomes in Chlamys farreri, miRNA profiles of hemocytes from scallops injected with PBS, with normal exosomes and LPS stimulating exosomes, respectively, were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate.

To better understand the immune functions of exosomes in Chlamys farreri, proteomics feature of hemocytes from scallops injected with PBS, with normal exosomes and LPS stimulating exosomes, respectively, were generated by TMT analysis, in triplicate.
Project description:To explore the protein components for scallop byssus, the soluble fractions of scallop byssus was extract. For mass spectrometric analysis, proteins were extracted from byssal adhesive plaques, and the major SDS-PAGE fractions was treated with trypsin and analyzed using an Easy-nLC nanoflow HPLC system connected to an Orbitrap Elite mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA). The mass spectrometry raw data were searched against the full set of predicted proteins from the C. farreri genome using Mascot v2.3.0 (Matrix Science, London, UK).
