  • Nucleic acids encoding isav polypeptides
    Publication number: 20040147467
    Abstract: Infectious Salmon Anemia Virus (ISAV) nucleic acid molecules and polypeptides are disclosed, as well as host cells and transgenic fish transformed by expression vectors containing such nucleic acids. The nucleic acid molecules can encode antigenic epitopes capable of eliciting an immune response in a host cell or animal, such as an immune response against ISAV, and the polypeptides themselves can be antigenic epitopes and also induce such an immune response.
