Patent ID: 7282578

Claim:
An isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleic acid sequence that codes for a Keyhole Limpit Hemocyanin 1 (KLH1) polypeptide, wherein said nucleic acid sequence is selected from the group consisting of: (a) a DNA sequence or the corresponding RNA sequence selected from the group consisting of: SEQ ID NO:16 (partial KLH1 domain b), SEQ ID NO:17 (KLH1 domain c), SEQ ID NO:18 (KLH1 domain d), SEQ ID NO:19 (partial KLH1 domain e), SEQ ID NO:54 (KLH1 domain e′), SEQ ID NO:55 (KLH1 domain f), SEQ ID NO:56 (KLH1 domain g), SEQ ID NO:96 (partial KLH1 domain b″), SEQ ID NO:97 (KLH1 domain c″), SEQ ID NQ:98 (KLH1 domain d″), SEQ ID NO:99 (KLH1 domain e″), SEQ ID NO:100 (KLH1 domain f″), SEQ ID NO:101 (KLH1 domain g″), and nucleic acid sequences which have at least 90% sequence identity to one of the nucleic acid sequence described under (a).
