Glc1.8 from<i>Microplitis demolitor</i>Bracovirus Induces a Loss of Adhesion and Phagocytosis in Insect High Five and S2 Cells
13 Jan 2005
Abstract excerpt
Polydnaviridae is a unique family of DNA viruses that are symbiotically associated with parasitoid wasps. Upon oviposition, wasps inject these viruses into their hosts, where they cause several physiological alterations, including suppression of the cellular immune response. Here we report that expression of the glc1.8 gene from Microplitis demolitor bracovirus (MdBV) causes a loss of adhesion by two...
