Updated project metadata. Anguillid herpesvirus 1 (AngHV) is an important viral pathogen of eel. This study was conducted to investigate the molecular mechanisms and immune response at the protein levels in the skin mucus of AngHV infected Anguilla anguilla. TMT-labelling proteomics with the liquid chromatographytandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was used for protein quantitative identification. And the quantitative protein amount was detected by parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) analysis. A total of 3486 proteins were identified, of which 2935 were quantified. When a protein fold change greater than 1.3 or less than 0.76 was considered to indicate a differentially expressed protein (DEP), 187 up-regulated proteins and 126 down-regulated proteins were detected, and most of the DEPs were enriched in CAMs pathway, intestinal immune pathway, herpes simplex virus 1 infection pathway, phagosome pathway and p53 signaling pathway. The results of the DEPs detected by PRM were highly consistent with that of the TMT-labelled quantitative proteomic analysis results.
