Figure 1. Alignment of JCV VP1 sequences, nt 1710–1924, from fertile (F) and infertile (I) subjects. Panel A.

Figure 1

. The most representative JCV genotype strains, types 1–8 are indicated. Nucleotide substitutions in JCV strains are numbered and marked in grey. Panel B. JCV 1 and 2 strains and related subtypes 1A and 1B, and 2A and 2B are indicated. Nucleotide substitutions are numbered and marked in grey. Panel C. VP1 coding sequences of JCV 1B and 2B strains indentified in semen and urine samples from fertile (F) and infertile (I) subjects, respectively, compared to JCV 1 strain (upper line). Nucleotide substitutions and insertions are numbered and marked in gray. The sequence homology of JCV genotypes was compared with the Blastn using flat master-slave with identities of the National Centre for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). Sequences used for the analysis include on Panel A: Mad-1 strain of JCV type 1[GenBank, accession no.J02227]; MY strain of JCV type 2[GenBank, accession no.AB038250]; #308 of JCV type 3 [GenBank, accession no.U73500]; #402 of JCV type 4 [GenBank, accession no.AF015528]; #501 of JCV type 5 [GenBank, accession no.AF015684*]; #601 of JCV type 6 [GenBank, accession no. AF015537]; #701 of JCV type 7 [GenBank, accession no. AF295737]; #801 of JCV type 8 [GenBank, accession no. AF281623]. Panel B: Mad-1 strain of JCV type 1; #124 of JCV type 1A [GenBank, accession no. AF015526]; #123 of JCV type 1B [GenBank, accession no. AF015527]; #226 of JCV type 2A [GenBank, accession no. AF015531]; #223 of JCV type 2B [GenBank, accession no. AF015532]. *Record removed. This record was removed at the submitter’s request because the sequence cannot be confirmed.
