    Abstract:
    One pair of primer was designed and synthesized according to the feline interferon alpha gene(IFN-α) nucleic acid sequence.Wild cat IFN-α was amplified by PCR,then cloned and sequenced.The nucleotide sequence of the amplified IFN-α gene and the amino acid sequence deduced from the gene were then analyzed by the DNAstar software and on-line tools,and the similarity and evolution of IFN-α gene were analyzed among wild cat,human and other animals.The results showed the full length sequence of wild cat IFN-α gene was 631 bp,which includes one open-reading frame,encoding 194 amino acid residues,one potential N-glycosalation site and seven O-glcnac sites in deduced amino acid sequence.The results of comparative sequence analysis and phyloge-netic tree analysis indicated there was difference of genus in IFN-α gene,the nearer their relationship,the higher the homology.This study paved the way for future study of biological function and application of feline IFN-α.

    According to feline interleukin-18 (IL-18) gene sequence reported in GenBank, feline IL-18 gene was amplified by RT-PCR from the feline peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCf) stimulated by concanavalin (ConA). The PCR product was purified and ligatured with pMD18-T. The recombinant plasmid was used for sequencing. The full length of feline IL-18 gene was 579 bp, which encoded 192 amino acids(Genbank accession No.DQ100372). There were no signal peptide and N-glycosylation sites, while had 4 conservative Cys amino acid in the deduced amino acid sequence. Compared with IL-18 genes of other species, the nucleotide sequence of feline IL-18 gene shares 89.8%、88.6%、88.4% and 88.1% identities with IL-18 genes of canine, ovine, bovine and porcine respectively, but displays significant differences with mouse and chicken IL-18 gene sequence which published in GenBank. Meanwhile, the feline IL-18 gene was subcloned into the prokaryotic expressing vector pET28a and recombinant vector was further transformed into Escherichia coli strain BL21(DE3) for expression under the induction of IPTG. The results of SDS-PAGE revealed that it had a molecular weight of 27.5 kD, which amounts to 13.6% in the total protein of the induced bacteria by the assaying of gel scanning.

    One pair of primers was designed and synthesized according to the canine interferon-α(IFN-α) gene nucleic acid sequence published in the GenBank.The IFN-α gene was amplified from genome DNA of poodle liver by PCR.The purified PCR products were linked to pGEM-T Easy vector and then transformed into competent cells of DH5α.By identification of blue-white spot screening,plasmid PCR and enzyme digestion,positive strain was sent to TaKaRa for sequencing.The sequencing results showed that poodle IFN-α gene was obtained.The cloned poodle IFN-α gene span is 564 bp,which includes one open-reading frame encoding 187 amino acid residues.And there are three potential N-glycosalation sites and ten cysteines in the deduced amino acid sequence.Homology of nucleotide and amino aids of IFN-α gene between poodle and humans and other animals and the phylogenetic tree indicated that IFN-α gene varied in species,and the closer the relationship,the higher the homology.

    According to a forecast sequence of chicken interleukin-5(ChIL-5) gene published in GenBank,a pair of primers was designed and used for cloning ChIL-5 gene by RT-PCR from chicken spleen lymphocytes stimulated by ConA for the first time.The complete nucleotide sequence of the cloned gene contained a 381bp open reading frame encoding 126 amino acids,including the sequence encoding 22-amino-acid signal peptide.The protein encoded by the gene was about 14.63ku in molecular weight.The amino acid sequence deduced from the gene had less than 25% similarity to that of other mammals.However,the predicted tertiary structure of ChIL-5 protein was similar to that of the human,and the structure of the protein mainly consisted of four α-helix.This gene was cloned into pET-28a(+) vector to construct recombinant expression plasmid pET-28a-IL-5,then the recombinant plasmid was transformed into Escherichia coli Rosetta(DE3) and expressed under induction of IPTG.The prokaryotic expression of ChIL-5 gene provided foundation for further studies of the structure and biological function of avian IL-5.

    [Objective] The research aimed to clone and analyze a new IFN-τ gene from yellow cattle in Shenyang area.[Method] A pair of specific primers were designed and synthesized according to the sequence(AY665673) of bovine IFN-τ gene published on NCBI website.The genomic DNA extracted from the kidney tissues of yellow cattle was taken as template for PCR amplification.After being reclaimed,the amplified products were connected with vector pUCm-T and transformed into competent cell DH5α of Escherichia coli.After the obtained plasmid was identified by PCR and double-enzyme digestion,it was made for sequencing and sequence analysis.[Result] Through PCR amplification,a specific band with the size of about 600 bp was obtained.Bovine IFN-τ gene was successfully recombined with the vector and the positive clone was obtained.The results of sequence analysis showed that the size of the cloned fragment was 586 bp and stop codon appeared at 376 bp and led to the translation termination.The nucleotide homology of this fragment with that of the sequence of AY665673 gene was 93.3% and their homology on the amino acid was 88.1%.[Conclusion] The cloned fragment was a new bovine IFN-τ gene probably.
