Comparison of the CSFV Alfort/187 E2 sequence around the
TAVSPTTLR region (underlined) with those from other strains of
pestiviruses. The E2 protein sequences selected here for comparison are
from CSFV strains Alfort/187 (27) (GenBank accession number
X87939), Weybridge (39) (GenBank accession number X71780),
Brescia (22) (GenBank accession number M31768), GPE−
(14) (GenBank accession number D49533), ALD (14)
(GenBank accession number D49532), and Taiwan P97 (30)
(GenBank accession number U43924); BVDV strains SD-1 (7)
(GenBank accession number M96751), NADL (5), Osloss
(6) (GenBank accession number M96687), and Oregon C24V
(25) (GenBank accession number L07496); and BDV strains BD78
(31) (GenBank accession number U18330), X818 (1)
(GenBank accession number AF037405), L83/84 (1) (GenBank
accession number U00890), and R27/27 (1) (GenBank accession
number U00891). Amino acid residues that match exactly those of the
CSFV Alfort/187 E2 protein are represented as dots. Gaps are indicated
by dashes.
