Portunus trituberculatus cryptocyanin seizes swimming crab reovirus and improves crab survival
Crustaceans lack immunoglobulins, and their humoral immunity relies on immune factors present in the hemolymph. A native hemolymph protein with a molecular mass of approximately 120 kDa was found to bind the swimming crab (Portunus trituberculatus) reovirus (SCRV) via virus overlay protein binding assays. This protein...
