Patent ID: 7491698

Claim:
A method of controlling or inhibiting an insect wherein said method comprises contacting said insect with effective amounts of a Protein A, a Protein B, and a Protein C, wherein said Protein A is an approximately 230-290 kDa complex-forming protein having at least 99% sequence identity with SEQ ID NO:34 (XptA2 Xwi ); said Protein B is an approximately 130-180 kDa complex-forming protein comprising an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:22 (TcdB1), SEQ ID NO:56 (TcaC), and an amino acid sequence having at least 99% sequence identity with SEQ ID NO:45 (TcdB2); said Protein C is an approximately 90-120 kDa complex-forming protein comprising an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:25 (TccC1), SEQ ID NO:57 (TccC5): and an amino acid sequence having at least 99% sequence identity with SEQ ID NO:47 (TccC3); said Protein A has activity against an insect and said activity is potentiated by said Protein B and said Protein C; and said Protein B and said Protein C potentiate the activity of said Protein A.
