Molecular cloning and expression of caspase from white shrimp Penaeus merguiensis

2006-03-01

Abstract excerpt

Apoptosis is a fundamental cellular process that plays a critical role in normal development and tissue homeostasis, eliminating from an organism unwanted cells, including damaged and virus-infected cells. In order to investigate the significance of apoptosis in response to viral infections in crustacean, we have cloned a caspase gene (cap-3) from the white shrimp, Penaeus merguiensis infected with white spot synd...
