Abstract:
Objective To compare the molecular characteristics of hantanvirus strains isolated from 1980 to 2002 in Zhejiang Province by PCR and nucleotide sequencing.Methods Total RNA was extracted from hantanvirus infected Vero-E6 cells. The M segment cDNA of hantaan ZJ4 and ZJ7 strains were obtained by reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction, subsequently cloned into pUCm-T vector and sequencing.Results Two strains ZJ4 and ZJ7 of hantanvirus isolated from Rottus in Zhejiang province were HTN viruses. HTN virus strain Z10 was isolated in 1980. Comparison ZJ4 and ZJ7 with Z10 strains indicated that there were 88.3% and 92.3% homology at the nucleotide level.Conclusion The HTN virus were very conserved. The homology of HTN virus isolated from Zhejiang Province was high nucleotide level, though they were isolated at more than 20-year intervals.
