[ Method] With total RNA isolated from peripheral lym- phocytes of Gaoyou ducks as templates, one pair of primers was designed according to the known IL-2 gene sequence in ducks. The IL-2 DNA was amplified by the RT-PCR and inserted into pGEM-T-easy vector. Then the positive recombinant plasmid was sequenced. [ Result] The amplified target fragment was 433 bp with the correct size as theoretically expected. The open reading frame （ORF） was 423 bp encoding a precursor protein with 140 amino acids which consisted of a signal peptide composed of 21 amino acids and a mature peptide composed of 119 amino acids. The pro- tein was approximately 13.66 kDa and contained one N-glycosylation site. The sequence of IL-2 gene of Gaoyou duck had 99.8% nucleotide homol- ogy to that of Anas platyrhynchos duck, Gushi duck and Shaoxing duck, respectively. It also had 99.3% nucleotide homology to that of Guangzhou duck. [ Conclusion] The coding region of IL-2 gene of ducks is highly conserved.展开更多

[Method] The levels of thyroid hormones （T3, T4 and FT3） in female ducks serum, fertilized eggs, and 7, 11,15, 19, 22, 28-days embryo of Gaoyou duck and Jinding duck were analyzed with radioimmunoassay （RIA）. [ Result]The levels of thyroid hormones in fertilized eggs were higher than those in serum of female ducks; different em- bryonic age hormone level of Gaoyou duck and Jinding duck in serum had almost the same variation trend, which was low but relatively stable after 15 days. [Condusion] The result suggested that thyroid hormones play an important role in duck embryonic development, especially in the early peded.展开更多
