Lutjanus sanguineus) was constructed by suppression subtractive hybridization technology (SSH) to screen immune-related EST. The cDNA library has been constructed by the mRNA of the test group and driven by SSH. Differential ESTs from the subtracted cDNA library have been identified by both PCR technology and dot blot hybridization. Six hundred and eighty positive clones were sequenced by Sangon Biological Engineering Technology & Services Co., Ltd. The homology of the sequences was analyzed by BLASTx tool and BLASTn tool in GenBank database. Functional distribution was performed based on the features of ESTs by gene ontology annotation (GO) and 30 immune-related ESTs of I and HSP90) and so on, were found. In this study, the subtracted cDNA library was successfully constructed by SSH and a number of immune-related ESTs of were identified, which laid
