Cloning, expression and immunogenicty analysis of five outer membrane proteins of Vibrio parahaemolyticus zj2003

Immune response in Lutjanus erythropterus induced by the major outer membrane protein (OmpU) of Vibrio alginolyticus

“…Khushiramani et al (2007) reported that the recombinant OmpTS of Aeromonas hydrophila provided protection for Indian major carp Labeo rohita with a RPS of 57. Mao et al (2007) reported that the recombinant OmpK of V. parahaemolyticus provided protection for large yellow croaker with a RPS of 90. Recently, it was shown that the recombinant OmpK of V. harveyi could provide protection for orange-spotted grouper with a RPS of 100 (Li et al 2008).…”

Detection of serum and mucosal antibody production and antibody secreting cells (ASCs) in large yellow croaker (Pseudosciaena crocea) following vaccination with Vibrio harveyi via different routes

“…However, infectious vibriosis is becoming severe with expanding culture, and the abuse of effective antibiotics has caused adverse problems (Jian and Wu, 2003;Mao et al, 2007). Vaccination was thus considered to be an essential and effective way to control fish diseases.…”

Immunoprotection of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) from Lactococcus garvieae against Lactococcosis in tilapia

“…Recent studies have elucidated the role of outer membrane proteins (OMPs) in pathogenic bacteria, revealing their promise in protecting against bacteriainfected fish (Kawai et al, 2004;Khushiramani et al, 2007;Mao et al, 2007;Zhang et al, 2007). Notably, with exposed epitopes on their cell surface (including fimbriae and porins) OMPs are easily recognized as foreign substances by the immunological defense system of the hosts (Kawai et al, 2004).…”
