Rel/NF-κB transcription factors play central roles in induction and regulation of innate immune responses. Here, identification and functional analysis of LvDorsal, a Dorsal homologue from the Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei, were described. The full-length cDNA of LvDorsal is 2204bp with...
