Reverse transcription PCR for the amplification of M gene. Lane M, DNA marker; Lanes 1 to 4, M gene; Lane 5, negative control.
Reverse transcription PCR for the amplification of HA and NA gene of influenza virus. Lane M, DNA marker; Lane 1, negative control; Lane 2, HA gene; Lane 3: NA gene.
Phylogenetic trees for the A/canine/Nanjing/ 01/2014 (H3N2) HA gene.
Phylogenetic tree for the A/canine/Nanjing/01/2014 (H3N2) NA gene and those of other influenza A viruses. The trees were generated with the MEGA program (version 5.0) by using neighbor-joining analysis.
Alignment of HA1 amino acid sequences of H3N2 influenza isolates and the most similar avian isolate. Boxed residues represent the antigenic sites A–E, and orange colored residues denote potential glycosylation sites, blue indicates receptor-binding sites and pink represent cleavage site.
Alignment of NA amino acid sequences of H3N2 influenza isolates and the most similar avian isolate. Black boxed residues represent antigenic sites A-E, and orange colored residues denote potential glycosylation sites, blue indicates receptor-binding sites.
