| 摘要 |
<p>The present invention relates to a novel composition useful for inhibiting White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) infection of crustacean animals, particularly those of the genera Penaeus sp. More specifically, the novel composition comprises a polypeptide whose amino acid sequence corresponds to at least a portion of Vp28, a surface protein of WSSV, or an antibody that specifically binds the polypeptide. The polynucleotide sequences encoding the Vp28 polypeptides of the present invention are also disclosed. Further disclosed are methods for using the novel compositions to inhibit WSSV infection in crustacean animals.</p> |
