【 摘 要 】

References(25)Cited-By(4)We cloned, sequenced and analyzed the cDNAs encoding Camelidae inflammatory cytokines, including llama (lama glama) interleukin (IL)-1α, IL-1β, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and camel (Camelus bactrianus) IL-6 and TNF-α. The similarity levels of the deduced amino acid sequences of IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α from llama (camel) to those from other mammalian species, ranged from 60.7% to 87.7%, 52.8% to 75.3%, 41.4% to 98.6%, and 72.9% to 99.6%, respectively. Phylogenetic analyses based on nucleic acid sequences showed that llama IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α were more closely related to those of camel, pig, cattle, sheep and horse than to those of human, dog, cat, mouse and rat.
