Abstract

The present invention relates to a novel isolated whitefly ecdysone receptor polypeptide. The invention also relates to an isolated nucleic acid encoding the whitefly ecdysone receptor polypeptide, to vectors comprising them and to their uses, in particular in methods for modulating gene expression in an ecdysone receptor-based gene expression modulation system and methods for identifying molecules that modulate whitefly ecdysone receptor activity.

Claims (2)

1. An antibody which specifically binds an isolated polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 2, amino acids 1-52 of SEQ ID NO: 2, amino acids 119-192 of SEQ ID NO: 2, amino acids 193-416 of SEQ ID NO: 2, amino acids 53-416 of SEQ ID NO: 2, amino acids 119-416 of SEQ ID NO: 2, and amino acids 183-416 of SEQ ID NO: 2.
