Résumé
White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is known as one of the most lethal pathogenic viruses in shrimp causing massive damage to shrimp aquaculture industries. To date, no effective treatment or prevention has been found. In this study, five recombinant viral proteins VP15, VP19, VP24, VP26, and VP28 were expressed and purified in E. coli, which were employed as candidates against WSSV in Kuruma shrimp Marsupenaeus japonicus. In vivo antiviral assay in this study newly revealed that VP15 of major nucleocapsid protein, being known as a DNA-binding protein provided the substantial protection against the viral infection when pre-injected into shrimps. Furthermore, we also verified the immunogenic effects of purified VP15 and VP19 proteins produced in a silkworm-bacmid expression system. Taken together, our study identified VP15 as an effective candidate against WSSV infection in the Kuruma shrimp. It is interesting to uncover why and how VP15 is involved in the immune memory in shrimp in the future study.
