Polymorphisms of anti-lipopolysaccharide factors in the swimming crab Portunus trituberculatus and their association with resistance/susceptibility to Vibrio alginolyticus.

Abstract excerpt

Anti-lipopolysaccharide factor (ALF) is an important antimicrobial peptide (AMP) that can bind and neutralize major component of Gram-negative bacteria cell wall, lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Seven isoforms of anti-lipopolysaccharide factors (PtALF1-7) were previously identified from the swimming crab Portunus trituberculatus in our laboratory. Here, polymorphisms of PtALF1-7 were detected and their association with...
