Phylogenetic analysis of ferret CXCL9, CXCL10, CXCL11, and CXCR3. The full-length putative protein sequences obtained for (A) ferret CXCL9, CXCL10 and CXCL11 and (B) partial putative protein sequence of ferret CXCR3 were aligned with all available orthologues from cow, dog, human, mouse, rat, pig and frog using ClustalW 1.83, and phylogenetic trees constructed using protein parsimony with a bootstrap value of 100. All chemokines cluster specifically within their orthologous groups. Accession numbers: CXCL9—NP_663705, NP_032625, NP_002407, XP_591770; CXCL10: NP_001008691, NP_620789, NP_067249, NP_001556, NP_001010949, NP_001040016; CXCL11: NP_891997, NP_062367, NP_005400; CXCR3: NP_001011067, CAH64842, NP_445867, NP_034040, NP_001011673, NP_0011495, NP_001011887.
