Abstract excerpt
Innate immunity is the primary defense of crustaceans against pathogens. Crustins, as antimicrobial peptides, are important to crustacean innate immunity. In this study, two kinds of Gly-rich crustin genes were cloned from Macrobrachium nipponense and were referred to as Mn-Gly-Cru1 and Mn-Gly-Cru2. These crustins belong to type II crustins with typical type II crustin structures. The full-length cDNA of...
