Comments Information
Function
- It retains antibacterial activities in all conditions tested (at pH 5.6-8.0 and in the presence of 50-150 mM NaCl) that was adapted to confirm the antibacterial properties of Spodoptera cecropins. Northern blot analysis with (32)P-labeled PCR product coding for Spodoptera cecropin A revealed that Spodoptera cecropin genes are expressed in immunized fat body, but not in normal fat body.
