(A) Clustal W multiple sequence alignment of bLFcin, hLFcin, cLFcin, and seven N-terminal amino acid sequences of lactoferrin from different animal species, edited by BioEdit. (B) The designed ConLFcin amino acid sequence. Consensus key: * (asterisk) - positions have a single, fully conserved residue, : (colon) - conservation between groups of strongly similar properties, . (period) - conservation between groups of weakly similar properties, and blank spaces mean no consensus. Accession numbers of lactoferrin amino acid sequences of various species in NCBI GenBank are as follows: AAA30610.1 (Bos taurus; bLFcin), CAB53387.1 (Camelus dromedarius; cLFcin), AAA59511.1 (Homo sapiens; hLFcin), CAA06441.1 (Bubalus bubalis), ACT53713.1 (Capra hircus), NP_001157446.1 (Equus caballus), ACB11584.1 (Macaca cyclopis), ACL80331.1 (Mus musculus), ACT76166.1 (Ovis aries), and AAA31059.1 (Sus scrofa).
