[Method] The cDNA library of peripheral blood leucocytes which were separated from carp and stimulated with mitogen was screened by a probe labeled with DIG. The IFNγ- 2β EST sequence was picked out from the constructed cDNA library of peripheral blood leucocyte, and the full length of carp interferon γ-2β was cloned. In addition, the sequence analysis was carried out. [Result] Three positive clones were obtained. Sequence analysis indicated that the sequence had a 119 bp 5’-UTR and a 218 bp 3’-UTR, and the open reading frame （ORF）of this gene was 537 bp which putatively coded 178 amino acids and there were several instable motifs for mRNA （ATTTA） in the 3’-untranslated region. Its homology with IFN from GenBank was up to 97% . Analysis on protein sequence and structure showed that the predicted protein sequence was identified as an IFN family signature. [Conclusion] The research laid the foundation for further studying the expression manner, function characteristic and regulation mechanism of IFNγ-2β in vivo and the action mechanism in the inflammatory reaction, emergency reaction and immune response.展开更多
