Cloning and expression of a gene encoding gallerimycin, a cysteine-rich antifungal peptide, from eri-silkworm, Samia cynthia ricini

A cDNA clone encoding gallerimycin was isolated from larval fat body of immunized Samia cynthia ricini and named as Scr-gallerimycin. In naive larvae, no gene expression was detected, but strongly induced in fat body and hemocytes following immune challenge with bacteria or entomopathogenic fungus B...
