Abstract
Background: Apolipophorin-III (ApoLp-III) is known to play an important role in lipid transport and innate immunity in
lepidopteran insects. However, there is no evidence of involvement of ApoLp-IIIs in the immune responses of dipteran
insects such as Drosophila and mosquitoes.
Methodology/Principal Findings: We report the molecular and functional characterization of An. gambiae apolipophorin-III
(AgApoLp-III). Mosquito ApoLp-IIIs have diverged extensively from those
