Fig. 5From: First molecular detection and characterization of Marek’s disease virus in red-crowned cranes (Grus japonensis): a case reportAmino acid sequence alignment of VP22 (from crane). a, The full-length VP22 gene (750 bp) was amplified from the liver genome. b, The amino acid sequence of VP22 (243 aa) from cranes was aligned with 9 previously published MDV isolates (including CVI988, 814, GX0101, LMS, GA, RB-1B, Md11 and 648a). Identical amino acids are denoted by strips in the alignment, and deleted amino acids are denoted by dots in the alignmentBack to article page
