White spot syndrome virus(WSSV)is one of the major shrimp pathogens causing large economic losses to shrimp farming.In an attempt to identify the envelope proteins involved in the virus infection,purified WSSV virions were mixed with three antisera against WSSV envelope proteins(VP39,VP124 and VP187),individually.And then they were injected intramuscularly into crayfish(Procambarus clarkii)to conduct in vivo neutralization assays.The results showed that for groups injected with virions only and groups injected with the mixture of virions and antiserum against VP124,the crayfish mortalities were 100% and 60% on the 8th day postinfection,individually.The virus infection could be delayed or neutralized by antibody against the envelope protein VP124.Quantitative PCR was used to further investigate the influence of three antisera described above on the virus infection.The results showed that the antiserum against VP124 could restrain the propagation of WSSV in crayfish.All of the results suggested that the viral envelope protein VP124 played a role in WSSV infection.
White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is one of the major shrimp pathogens causing large economic losses to shrimp farming. In one attempt to identify the envelope proteins involved in the virus infection, purified WSSV virions were mixed with three antisera against WSSV envelope proteins , VP124 and VP187), individually. Then they were injected intramuscularly into crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) to conduct in vivo neutralization assays. The results showed that for groups injected with virions only and groups injected with the mixture of virions and antiserum against VP124, the crayfish mortalities were 100% and 60% on the 8th day postinfection, individually. The virus infection could be delayed or neutralized by antibody against the envelope protein VP 124. Quantitative PCR was used to further investigate the influence of three antisera described above on the virus infection. The results showed that the antiserum against VP124 could restrain the propagation of WSSV in crayfish. All of the results su ggested that the viral envelope protein VP124 played a role in WSSV infection.
