Silkworm, Bombyx mori, vitellogenin (Vg) was isolated from perivisceral fat body of day 3 of
pupa. Both Vg subunits were co-purified as verified by mass spectrometry and immunoblot …

Allergic reactions caused by silkworm pupae greatly limit their utilization, and studies
suggest that silkworm pupae proteins of 25–30 kDa may be the principal allergens. To …

The silkworm (Bombyx mori) has long been valued food and feed in East Asia for its
