Phylogenetic tree analysis of salmonid IL-2, IL-2 and IL-2L from other fish species, and selected mammalian IL-2 molecules with the closely related γC cytokines IL-15 and IL-21. The phylogenetic tree was constructed using amino acid (aa) multiple alignments and the neighbor-joining method within the MEGA7.0 program (36). The percentage of replicate trees in which the associated taxa clustered together in the bootstrap test (10,000 replicates) is shown next to the branches. The evolutionary distances were computed using the JTT matrix-based method with all ambiguous positions removed for each sequence pair. The aa sequences and accession numbers are detailed in Supplementary Material: protein sequence.
