Abstract excerpt
The surface envelope (SU) gene of nine different isolates of the bovine lentivirus (BIV) were compared for nucleotide and deduced amino acid (aa) sequence diversity. Analyses were done both on isolates derived from the original reference strain, R29, and on field isolates of BIV. Six conserved and six hypervariable regions were identified. Many of the hypervariable regions were located in areas predicted to be on...
