ODORANT BINDING PROTEIN 18 INCREASES THE PATHOGEN RESISTANCE OF THE IMPORTED WILLOW LEAF BEETLE, PLAGIODERA VERSICOLORA

Odorant binding protein 18 increases the pathogen resistance of the imported willow leaf beetle, Plagiodera versicolora

BackgroundInsect odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are a class of small molecular weight soluble proteins.In the past few years, OBPs had been found to work as carriers of ligands and play a crucial role in olfaction and various other physiological processes, like immunity.A subset of insect OBPs had been found to be expressed differently and play a

The past, current and future trends in DNA vaccine immunisations

This review focuses on DNA vaccines, denoting the last two decades since the early substantiation of preclinical protection was published in Science in 1993 by Ulmer et al.In spite of being safely administered and easily engineered and manufactured DNA vaccine, it holds the future prospects of immunization by inducing potent cellular immune respons
