Abstract: The disruptive effects of Fluorescent Brightener 28( FB28) and Heliothis armigera granulovirus enhancing ( En -Ha) on the peritrophic membrane( PM) of larvae and enhancing effectsonMsNPV in Mythima separata were studied through SDS -PAGE, structural observation and bioassay.The results indicated that proteins could be dissociated from the PM in vitro by FB28.After the larvae were reared with diets containing 1% FB28 for 4 h, bluish fluorescence appeared on the disrupted PM.SDS -PAGE of PM treatedwith FB28 in vivo showed that some proteins with high molecular weight disappeared.After the PM was treated with En -Ha in vitro, some proteins with high molecular weight disappeared and some with lower molecular weight appeared, which indicated En -Ha could degrade the high -molecular -weight proteins from the PM.The PM became fragile after the larvaewere rearedwith diets containing 9μg/mL En -Ha for 7h, and SDS -PAGE showed that some proteinswith high molecular weight disappeared similar to the profile treated by FB28?However, the ex - periments testified that the disruptive effect could be restored after rearing the larvae on the diet without FB28 and En - Ha.The bioassay showed that FB28 and En -Ha could enhance the vitality of MsNPV and significantly decreased LC 50 by degrading the integrity of PM.

Key words: Fluorescent Brightener 28, Enhancin, MsNPV, Peritrophic membrane, Enhancing effect
