Abstract: ABSTRACT In crustaceans, lipopolysaccharide‐ and &bgr;‐1,3‐glucan‐binding protein (LGBP) plays an important role in innate immunity by mediating the recognition of pathogens to host cells. Hereby, LGBP was cloned from Fenneropenaeus merguiensis hepatopancreas. Its full‐length cDNA… read more here.
