[Comparative studies on several biochemical indices of Anopheles anthropophagus and Anopheles sinensis]

Proteins, sugars and esterase isoenzymes of An. anthropophagus and An. sinensis were compared by IEF and two dimensional gel electrophoresis. The results show that there are some differences in the electrophoretic patterns between An. anthropophagus and An. sinensis. The glycoprotein, lipid protein, glycolipidprotein, protein, polysaccharide and esterase isoenzymes showed 10, 0, 6, 14, 2 and 13 bands in An. anthropophagus; 10, 1, 5, 16, 3 and 15 in An. sinensis. There exist 234 and 240 polypeptide spots in An. anthropophagus and in An. sinensis, respectively, altogether 27.8% of polypeptide spots being different.
