In the present study, as one of PRPs, lipopolysaccharide and 13-1, 3-glucan binding protein （LGBP） gene in the ridge tail white prawn （Exopalaemon carinicauda） （EcLGBP） was isolated. The full-length cDNA of EcLGBP was 1338 bp, encoding a polypeptide of 366 amino acid residules. The deduced amino acid sequence of EcLGBP shared high similarities with LGBP and BGBP from other crus- taceans. Some conservative domains were predicted in EcLGBP sequence. EcLGBP constitutively expressed in most tissues at dif- ferent levels, and the highest expression was observed in hepatopancreas. With infection time, the cumulative mortality increased gradually followed by the proliferation of Vibrio parahaemolyticus and white spot syndrome virus （WSSV）. The expression of EcLGBP in response to E parahaemolyticus infection was up-regulated in hemocytes and hepatopancreas, and the up-regulation in hepatopancreas was earlier than that in hemocytes. EcLGBP expression after WSSV infection increased at 3 h, then significantly decreased in both hemocytes and hepatopancreas. The results indicated that EcLGBP was involved in the immune defense against bacterial and viral infections.展开更多
