Claim 5:
6. A chimeric odorant receptor co-receptor protein comprising:
an amino terminal portion derived from an odorant receptor co-receptor protein from a first organism and
a carboxyl-terminal portion derived from an odorant receptor co-receptor protein from a second organism,
wherein the amino acid terminal portion and the carboxyl-terminal portion are delineated from one another at an amino acid residue at a position between twenty amino acid residues before and after the farthest carboxyl-terminal amino acid residue of the fourth transmembrane domain of the chimeric odorant receptor co-receptor protein, wherein said farthest carboxyl-terminal amino acid residue of the fourth transmembrane domain corresponds to position 233 in the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:10 and position 232 in the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:14, and
wherein the first insect is Aedes aegypti, and the second insect is Apis mellifera.
