Design Notes

Anti-lipopolysaccharide factors (ALFs) are antimicrobial peptides with a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity. SpALF4 is an ALF homolog identified from Scylla paramamosain (Mud crab) that has shown antimicrobial activity against A. hydrophila. Our aim is to obtain the cDNA sequence of SpALF4 from Scylla paramamosain and insert it into the genetic expression of E. coli to express large amount of SpALF4 to treat A. hydrophila invasions.
