Hog cholera virus (HoCV) 5' terminus of the ALD and GPE(-) strains were analyzed by using rapid amplification of cDNA end method (5'RACE). An additional nine nucleotides were found at the 5' termini of genomic RNA in the ALD and GPE(-) strains of HoCV. These nine nucleotides were also conserved in BVDV and were suggested to form a hairpin structure at the 5' terminus by computer-assisted analysis. It seems possible that the secondary structure and/or the 5' terminus sequence has a significant role in the HoCV virus genome.
采用cDNA末端快速扩增法(5'RACE)分析了猪霍乱病毒(HoCV)ALD和GPE(-)毒株的5'末端。在HoCV的ALD和GPE(-)毒株的基因组RNA的5'末端发现了另外九个核苷酸。这九个核苷酸在牛病毒性腹泻病毒(BVDV)中也保守,并且通过计算机辅助分析表明在5'末端形成发夹结构。二级结构和/或5'末端序列似乎可能在HoCV病毒基因组中起重要作用。
