Since the advent of the new era of proteomics approach, the identification of individual molecular signatures in various biological systems for basic research has driven the discovery of biomarkers directly related to therapeutic applications, promoting the development of more specific clinical diagnostic tests. In this context, the need for clinical application stimulates the bench study, which new technologies and new discoveries can become effective prognostic, or novel drugs more effective and/or more specific diagnostic tests. The bubaline have been targets of several economic initiatives and translational research. Since its plasma is rich in fibrinogen, Bubalus bubalis water buffalos (Murrah) have became main donors of raw material for the development of biological insumes, as example, the fibrin sealant from snake venoms and water buffalos blood produced by The Center for the Studies of Venoms and Venomous Animals (CEVAP) at UNESP. Then, it was necessary to better understand the composition of the blood plasma and cryoprecipitate these buffalo, in order to support future research will involve the identification of molecular markers of infectious diseases that can affect these donor animals. This study was divided into two parts: the first stands up the previous findings and significance of buffalo, the use of animal blood for developing bioinsumes in animal and human health, the production and application of several fibrin sealants, the use proteomics approach as a research strategy for the discovery of molecular biomarkers of infect diseases and a brief description of the analytical methods used by proteomics approach. The second part of this work brings the protein characterization of blood plasma and cryoprecipitate of B. bubalis healthy buffalo, where have evidenced 17 groups of major proteins involved in the signaling pathway of the complement system and the cascade coagulation
