Toll protein family structure, evolution and response of the whiteleg shrimp ( Litopenaeus vannamei ) to exogenous iridescent virus

Abstract excerpt

Whiteleg shrimp is a widely cultured crustacean, but frequent disease outbreaks have decreased production and caused significant losses. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) comprise a large innate immune family that is involved in the innate immune response. However, understanding of their regulatory mechanism is limited. In this study, PacBio sequencing and Illumina sequencing were applied to the gill and hepatopancreas...
