Abstract
⺠Purified Farfantepenaeus paulensis (FpβGBP) and Litopenaeus schmitti (LsβGBP) βGBPs were able to enhance the activation of the proPO system. ⺠Shrimp βGBPs are able to agglutinate fungal cells, in a lectin-like manner. ⺠This is the first evidence of a lectin-like activity for βGBP. ⺠FpβGBP showed to be constitutively expressed and was not modulated by a non-lethal dose of filamentous fungi.
