Amino acid sequence alignment of L-Meq (from crane). a, The full-length L-Meq gene (1197 bp) was amplified from spleen cDNA. b, The amino acid sequence of L-Meq (398 aa) from cranes was aligned with 11 previously published MDV isolates (including CVI988, 814, GX060167, MDCC-RP1, MDCC-MSB1, BC-1, GA, JM10, JM102, RM-1 and CU-2). Sequences were aligned using the DNAMAN software. c, Substituted amino acids are listed, while deleted amino acids are denoted by strips in the alignment
