Cloning, expression and antiviral activity of IFNγ from the Australian fruit bat, Pteropus alecto.

"the genbank accession numbers for sequences used in the phylogenetic analysis are as follows: horse np_001075418 ; dog nm_001003174 ; cat nm_001009873 ; camel hm051108; cow nm_174086 ; human nm_000619 ; pig nm_213948 ; rabbit nm_001081991 ; mouse nm_008337 ; ferret ef492064 ; chicken nm_205149 2 4 the p alecto cells and cell lines used in this study included one cloned and immortalised kidney cell line pakit02 generated in our laboratory and described previously ( ).; this sequence has been submitted to genbank (accession no jn656277)."
