Abstract
Lymphocystis disease virus (LCDV) was detected from olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus, painted glass fish Chanda baculis, gourami Trichogaster leeri and rockfish Sebastes schlegeli, and proteins of the viruses were compared. The major capsid protein (MCP) gene-specific primer sets successfully amplified approximately 1300 bp nucleotides from the olive flounder and 600 bp nucleotides from painted glass fish, gourami and rockfish isolates, respectively. In western blotting analysis using anti-LCDV mouse polyclonal serum, major antigenic proteins had 21, 26, 45, 50, 80, 110 and 120 kDa in olive flounder, 26, 47 and 80 kDa in painted glass fish, 26, 46, 80 and 92 kDa in gourami, 26, 44, 49, 80 and 105 in rockfish, respectively. All the marine and freshwater isolates showed only common antigens of approximately 26 kDa and 80 kDa. These results suggest that antigenic protein profiles of LCDVs may vary depending upon fish species.
