    Alterations of pattern in immune response and vitellogenesis during induced ovarian development by unilateral and bilateral ablation in Litopenaeus vannamei

    Eyestalk ablation is often used to induce ovarian development in female shrimp, but it possibly alters the animal’s hormonal balance, and affects its physiology and immune system. Therefore, this study was con...

    Molecular cloning of a cDNA encoding vitellogenesis-inhibiting hormone in the whiteleg shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei and preparation of its recombinant peptide using an E. coli expression system

    The cDNA encoding a precursor of Liv-SGP-G, the most abundant crustacean hyperglycemic hormone-family peptide in the sinus gland of the whiteleg shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei, was cloned by RT-PCR coupled with 5′- ...
