Protein spots changed in the S. bullata larvae hemocytes and fat bodies after immune challenge. Differentially expressed protein spots listed in the Additional file 2 are shown in the enlarged sections of representative gels from the S. bullata larvae hemocytes and fat bodies at three time points: 30 min, 6 hours and 22 hours post-injection. The relative intensities of particular spots including the standard error of the mean (n = 3) from the PDQuest output are shown in the bar graphs: red bars for induced larvae and blue bars for non-induced larvae. Panel A shows the spots continuously up-regulated in induced larvae. Panel B shows the spots up-regulated in induced larvae at 6 hours post-injection and then down-regulated. Panel C shows the spots down-regulated in induced larvae at 22 hours post-injection.
