Abstract excerpt
Heat shock proteins (HSPs) play crucial roles in the immune response of vertebrates. In order to study immune defense mechanism of heat shock protein gene in miiuy croaker (Miichthys miiuy), a cDNA encoding heat shock protein 70 (designated Mimi-HSP70) gene was cloned from miiuy croaker. The cDNA was 2195 bp in length, consisting of an open reading frame (ORF) of 1917 bp encoding a polypeptide of 638 amino acids...
