Abstract:
The stromal cell-derived factor-1 alpha and beta (SDF-1 alpha/beta) are the ligands of fusin/CXCR4, the co-receptors of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 and the feline immunodeficiency virus. We cloned the cDNA of feline SDF-1 alpha/beta. The open reading frames of feline SDF-1 alpha/beta were 267/279 base pairs and encoded 89/93 amino acid residues.
