Characterization and phylogenetic analysis of the chitinase gene from the Helicoverpa armigera single nucleocapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus [PDF]
A putative chitinase gene was identified within the fragment EcoRI-K of the Helicoverpa armigera single-nucleocapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus (HearNPV, also called HaSNPIV) genome.

Gene Expression Pattern and Regulatory Network of α‐Toxin Treatment in Bombyx mori
Bacillus bombyseptieus is a pathogen of Bombyx mori; it can cause bacterial septicemia in silkworm. One of the components of the parasporal crystal toxin of B. bombyseptieus, α‐toxin, plays an important role in the process of infection in silkworm. In this study, we investigated the immune response of silkworm induced by α‐toxin by using RNA‐seq.

Construction of a Baculovirus-Silkworm Multigene Expression System and Its Application on Producing Virus-Like Particles [PDF]
A new baculovirus-silkworm multigene expression system named Bombyx mori MultiBac is developed and described here, by which multiple expression cassettes can be introduced into the Bombyx mori nuclear polyhedrosis virus (BmNPV) genome efficiently.

Characterization and identification of the integrin family in silkworm, Bombyx mori [PDF]
YesAs an important economic insect, Bombyx mori is also a useful model organism for lepidopteran insect. Integrins are evolutionarily conserved fromsponges to humans, and play vital roles inmany physiological and pathological processes.

The Ras oncogene of silkworm pupae (Bras2) may belong to the Ras superfamily. It shares 77% of its amino acid identity with teratocarcinoma oncogene 21 (TC21) related ras viral oncogene homolog‐2 (R‐Ras2) and possesses an identical core effector region. The mRNA of Bombyx mori Bras2 has 1412 bp. The open reading frame contains 603 bp, which encodes 200

The baculovirus expression system is one of the most successful and widely used eukaryotic protein expression methods. This short review will summarise the role of bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACS) as an enabling technology for the modification of the virus genome. For many years baculovirus genomes have been maintained in E.

Gaps in the Thread: Disease, Production, and Opportunity in the Failing Silk Industry of South Sulawesi [PDF]
Indonesian silk farming (Sericulture) has experienced two waves of a pebrine epidemic (also known as pepper disease) and grasserie. The first pebrine epidemic occurred in 1973 and the second one occurred in 2010.

Protection against Autoimmune Diabetes by Silkworm‐Produced GFP‐Tagged CTB‐Insulin Fusion Protein
In animals, oral administration of the cholera toxin B (CTB) subunit conjugated to the autoantigen insulin enhances the specific immune‐unresponsive state. This is called oral tolerance and is capable of suppressing autoimmune type 1 diabetes (T1D).
