The cDNAs of three cytokines, viz., IL-2, IL-4 and IFN-γ from Dromedary camels were amplified by PCR using Bactrian camel sequences and subsequently cloned for sequence analysis. Relationship based on amino acid sequences revealed that Dromedary camel IL-2 shared 99.5% and 99.3% identity at the nucleotide and amino acid levels with Bactrian camel IL-2. In the case of IL-4, the identity of Dromedary camel was 99.7% and 99.2% at the nucleotide and amino acid levels, respectively with that of Bactrian camel. The Dromedary camel IFN-γ shared 100% identity both at nucleotide and amino acid levels with Bactrian camel IFN-γ. Phylogenetic analysis based on amino acid sequences indicated the close relationship in these cytokine genes between the Dromedary camel and other camelids.
使用双峰驼序列通过 PCR 扩增了三种细胞因子(IL-2、IL-4 和 IFN-γ)的 cDNA,随后进行克隆以进行序列分析。基于氨基酸序列的关系表明,Dromedary 骆驼的 IL-2 在核苷酸和氨基酸水平上与 Bactrian 骆驼的 IL-2 具有 99.5%和 99.3%的同源性。在 IL-4 的情况下,Dromedary 骆驼的核苷酸和氨基酸水平的同一性分别为 99.7%和 99.2%,与 Bactrian 骆驼的同一性。Dromedary 骆驼的 IFN-γ 在核苷酸和氨基酸水平上均与 Bactrian 骆驼的 IFN-γ 具有 100%的同一性。基于氨基酸序列的系统发育分析表明,这些细胞因子基因在 Dromedary 骆驼和其他骆驼科动物之间具有密切的关系。
