Abstract

Transgenic technology has been applied to tiger shrimp Peneus monodon to produce a resistant strain to white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) by antiviral gene overexpression. The founders (F₀) transgenic tiger shrimp have been successfully bred to produce the first generation (F₁). The present study aimed to evaluate the survival and immune responses of F₁ transgenic tiger shrimp against WSSV. The F₁ transgenic and non-transgenic shrimp (control) with an average weight of 7.93±1.49 g were collected from the controlled brackish water ponds and stocked in a 20 L fiberglass tank with a density of 5 shrimp/tank. The transgenic shrimps were confirmed by a PCR assay. The shrimp were intramuscularly injected with WSSV to evaluate the performance between transgenic and non-transgenic. The survival (SR) was observed daily after the challenge test. Measurement of immune responses, namely total haemocyte count (THC), differential haemocyte count (DHC), prophenoloxidase (proPO) activity, and RNA content in haemolymph was conducted on before challenge, and on the 1^st, 3^rd, and 5^th days after challenge. The survival and immune responses were statistically analysed by the t-student test. The results showed that the SR of transgenic (52.0%), with a relative percentage survival of 47.82%, was greater (P<0.05) than the control shrimp (8.0%). The THC, proPO, and RNA content of the transgenic shrimp was higher (P<0.05) than the non-transgenic shrimp. The results suggested that the transgenic tiger shrimp, due to antiviral gene overexpression, increased the resistance against WSSV.

Abstrak

Teknologi transgen telah digunakan pada udang harimau Peneus monodon untuk menghasilkan strain tahan terhadap virus sindrom bintik putih (WSSV) oleh ekspresi berlebihan gen antiviral. Pengasas (F₀) udang harimau transgen telah berjaya dibiakkan untuk menghasilkan generasi pertama (F₁). Kajian ini bertujuan untuk menilai kemandirian dan tindak balas imun udang harimau transgen F₁ terhadap WSSV. Udang transgen dan bukan transgen F₁ (kawalan) dengan berat purata 7.93±1.49 g telah dikumpul daripada kolam air payau terkawal dan disimpan dalam tangki gentian kaca 20 L dengan ketumpatan 5 ekor udang/tangki. Udang transgen telah disahkan oleh ujian PCR. Udang telah disuntik secara intramuskul dengan WSSV untuk menilai prestasi antara transgen dan bukan transgen. Kemandirian (SR) diperhatikan setiap hari selepas ujian cabaran. Pengukuran tindak balas imun, iaitu jumlah bilangan hemosit (THC), kiraan hemosit pembezaan (DHC), aktiviti profenoloksidase (proPO) dan kandungan RNA dalam hemolimfa telah dijalankan pada sebelum cabaran dan pada hari ke-1, ke-3, dan ke-5 selepas cabaran. Kemandirian dan tindak balas imun dianalisis secara statistik oleh ujian t-pelajar. Keputusan menunjukkan bahawa SR transgen (52.0%), dengan peratusan kemandirian relatif 47.82%, adalah lebih besar (P<0.05) daripada udang kawalan (8.0%). Kandungan THC, proPO dan RNA udang transgen adalah lebih tinggi (P<0.05) berbanding udang bukan transgen. Hasilnya mencadangkan bahawa udang harimau transgen, disebabkan ekspresi berlebihan gen antivirus, meningkatkan daya tahan terhadap WSSV.
