This study describes the separation and identification of chorion proteins through two‐dimensional electrophoresis (2‐DE) and matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization‐time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI‐TOF MS) techniques. Due to their high hydrophobicity, chorion proteins are difficult to be solubilized and absorbed into the immobilized pH gradient strip for isoelectric focusing. By optimizing the applied conditions for chorion protein extraction and sample application, we were able to solubilize the majority of the chorion proteins and resolve them by 2‐DE. Under optimized conditions, there are more than 700 protein spots resolved by 2‐D analysis. Trypsin digestions of individual protein spots, MALDI‐TOF MS analysis of their digested peptides, and subsequent BLAST search of peptide masses resulted in the tentative identification of 38 protein spots. Our data show that sequential extraction of the isolated chorion, 2‐DE of the solubilized chorion proteins, in‐gel digestion of the resolved protein and MALDI‐TOF MS analysis of the protein digests is an effective overall strategy towards determination of chorion proteins in mosquitoes. The merits of the method described for the determination of mosquito chorion proteins and its feasibility for the separation and identification of membrane proteins and chorion or eggshell proteins from other insect species are discussed.
