Analysis of N and G Gene of Rabies Virus Isolated from Pig

To understand the difference of the nucleoprotein (N) gene and glycoprotein (G) gene between the strain of pig origin and other rabies viruses. The N and G genes of rabies virus isolated from the brain of a rabid pig in Guangdong Province were amplified by RT-PCR, cloned, sequenced and compared with the genes of other rabies virus. The results showed that the sequence of nucleotides and amino acids of N genes of GD-SH01 shared 84.3%-98.0% and 92.5%-99.3% similarity，and G genes of GD-SH01 shared 80.4%-98.2% and 87.8%-99.6% similarity, respectively, compared to other viruses.
