Summary Full-length cDNA (582 bp) of the interleukin-18 (IL-18) gene of the Indian water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) was amplified by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and sequenced. The deduced amino acid sequence has 99% and 95% similarity with the IL-18 sequences of cattle and sheep, respectively. There are two amino acid substitutions at positions 132 and 182 in buffalo IL-18 compared with that of cattle. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the IL-18 sequence of fish forms a different lineage and is most divergent from that of cattle, buffalo, sheep, pig, dog, horse, human, monkey, mouse, rat and chicken.
摘要 通过逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)扩增并测序了印度水牛(Bubalus bubalis)白细胞介素18(IL-18)基因的全长cDNA(582 bp)。推导的氨基酸序列与牛和绵羊的IL-18序列分别具有99%和95%的相似性。与牛相比,水牛IL-18在第132和182位有两个氨基酸替换。系统发育分析表明,鱼类的IL-18序列形成一个不同的谱系,与牛、水牛、绵羊、猪、狗、马、人、猴、小鼠、大鼠和鸡的IL-18序列差异最大。
