  • INSECT TOXIN DELIVERY MEDIATED BY A DENSOVIRUS COAT PROTEIN
    Publication number: 20210400962
    Abstract: A coat protein of Junonia coenia densovirus (JcDNV) is used to deliver attached peptide insect toxin across the gut epithelium of a fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda. A fusion protein comprising VP4 attached to an insect toxin via a peptide linker is developed. A composition comprising a JcDNV coat protein attached to an insect toxin via a peptide linker can be used for insect pest control.
