US 7,323,547 B2 · Highly expressed peptide of white spot syndrome virus in hosts and application thereof

Abstract

The present invention relates to a WSSV peptide, which comprises a peptide sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1 and can be used as target peptide for WSD immunodetection in crustaceans. In addition, the present invention also provides a WSSV nucleotide sequence, which comprises a nucleotide sequence encoding the peptide sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1, and can be used as a detection target for WSD in crustaceans. On the other hand, the present invention can be applied in a WSSV detection method using the peptide or nucleotide sequences as targets. The WSSV peptide of the present invention is highly expressed in the hosts. The sensitivities of the WSSV detection using the target peptide in the invention are therefore greatly increased in comparison to the traditional detection target.
