The analysis of the secretome provides important information on proteins defining intercellular communication and the recruitment and behavior of cells in specific tissues. Especially in the context of tumors, secretome data can support decisions for diagnosis and therapy. The mass spectrometry–based analysis of cell-conditioned media is widely used for the unbiased characterization of cancer secretomes in vitro. Metabolic lab...

Few studies have examined tick proteomes, how they adapt to their environment, and their roles in the parasite–host interactions that drive tick infestation and pathogen transmission. Here we used a proteomics approach to screen for biologically and immunologically relevant proteins acting at the tick‐host interface during tick feeding and, as proof of principle, measured host antibody responses to some of the discovered candi...
