Abstract: The peritrophic matrix(PM)is a physical barrier protecting the midgut.Destruction of peritrophic membrane can make the midgut in an abnormal physiological state,eventually leading to death.Helicoverpa armigera(Hübner)larval midgut cDNA expression library was immunoscreened with an anti-PM proteins polyclonal antiserum which has been successfully prepared by immuning a rabbit,385 positive clones were obtained from several screening.26 purified cDNA clones of them were chosen for sequencing.The results showed that 19 cDNAs of the above 26 cDNA clones encoded insect intestinal mucin(IIM).The PM protein composition was then analyzed,and the result showed that there were a lot of glycopreteins by PAS staining analysis.By isolating and identifying the PM proteins of Helicoverpa armigera,we could get a clear idea of the physiological function of PM protein.We could also hunt for novel target site in insect pest management and explore high efficient biological pesticide.
