In this study, the cDNA encoding a serine proteinase homologue (SPH) with prophenoloxidase activating activity of Penaeus monodon (PmPPAF) was cloned and characterized.application/pdfPmPPAF is a pro-phenoloxidase activating factor involved in innate immunity response of the shrimp Penaeus monodonJournal Articlehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.dci.2013.12.007
