Fig. 2.
Sequence alignments of enterovirus strains detected in samples from patients with type 1 diabetes representing nucleotides 439–512 of the 5′UTR of E30 viral genome (GenBank accession no. AM237033). Patients are identified by numbers 1–6. Nucleotides that show variation to the consensus sequence (shown at the bottom of the figure) between virus strains are shown. Variable nucleotides between virus strains obtained from the same individual are marked with red rectangles. Islets, medium of cultured islets; Isolate, isolated virus; Pancreas R, RNAlater sample from pancreas; Pancreas S, snap-frozen sample from pancreas
