Abstract:

In this study, using the biotin label transfer technique, we found that the biotin label was transferred from BSA or gill member protein of Litopenaeus vannamei to the envelop protein of WSSV. Western blotting showed that two proteins whose molecular weight among 50-55KD were labeled with biotin. It was concluded that the two proteins was location on the surface of the WSSV viron and could interact with the gill member protein of Litopenaeus vannamei. They were estimated to be VP52A and VP56.
