Chromatographic separation and mass spectrometric investigation of peptides great wax moth

Galleria mellonella, MALDI TOF peptides, immunity of insects.Abstract
We studied the change in peptide composition of haemolymph Galleria mellonella, induced
immunization microorganisms, methods of liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Established
that as a result of the immune response there is a lot of new peptide components that were not previously
described for this organism. In the hemolymph of caterpillars were identified as known antimicrobial
peptides. In the antibacterial activity of the fractions studied hemolymph detected unstudied peptides of
interest for studies aimed at studying the immune response and innate immunity in insects.
