Effects of secreted v-chitinase on Trichoplusia ni larvae liquefaction
| Virus(es) | Larvae liquefaction* |
|---|---|
| AcWT-PG | Yes |
| Ac-ΔCC-CpGV-ORF46-PG + Ac-ΔCC-ChiAΔKDEL-PG | Yes** |
| Ac-ΔCC-CpGV-ORF46-PG + Ac-ΔCC-ChiA-PG | No |
| Ac-ΔCC-CpGV-ORF46-PG | No |
| Ac-ΔCC-ChiAΔKDEL-PG | No |
| Ac-ΔCC-ChiA-PG | No |
Yes indicates that all larvae tested liquefied; no indicates that no larvae liquefied.
Liquefaction occurred in these larvae but they remained firmer than those infected with AcWT-PG.
