To examine the genetic diversity of EV71,we determined and analyzed the complete VP1 sequences(891 nucleotides) from nine EV71 strains isolated in Fuyang,China. We found that nine EV71 strains isolated were over 98% homologous at the nucleotide level and 93%-100% homologous to members of the C4 subgenogroup. At the amino acid level,these Fuyang strains were 99%-100% homologous to one another,97%-100% homologous to members of the C4 subgenogroup,and the histidine(H) at amino acid position 22 was conserved among the Fuyang strains. The results indicate that Fuyang isolates belong to genotype C4,and an H at position 22 appears to be a marker for the Fuyang strains.展开更多

PCR product was cloned into pProexHTb vector, and E.coli BL21 was transformed by the recombinant plasmid pProex-VP1 for sequencing and expression .The expressed product was identified by SDS-PAGE and Western blot, and purified by Ni-NTA His.Bind resins. The results showed that the nucleotide sequence identity of VP1 gene between YNBS/58 and India93, India 97,India99, Iseral and YNAs1.1 strains is from 80.3% to 97.5% and amino acid identity is from 85.8% to 96.5%, the recombinant VP1 protein was significant at 34 ku by SDS-PAGE and Western blot, which accounted for 30% of total protein in E.coli lysates,and the recombinant protein was purified successfully.展开更多
