Figure 1From: Amino acid changes in the spike protein of feline coronavirus correlate with systemic spread of virus from the intestine and not with feline infectious peritonitisRepresentative sequencing pyrograms of codon 1058 in faecal RNA samples. A: Pyrogram with an ATG (codon = methionine) sequence at position 1058 from cat 32, faeces. The peaks represent a sequence of GCTATG GG. B: Pyrogram with a TTG (codon = leucine) sequence at position 1058 from cat 46, faeces. The peaks represent a sequence of GCCTTG GG. C: Pyrogram with a mixture of ATG (codon = methionine) and CTG (codon = leucine) sequences at position 1058 from cat 60, faeces. The peaks represent a sequence of GCT(C/A)TG GG; the relative peak heights suggest that the methionine and leucine encoding RNAs were present in approximately equal amounts. The horizontal axis shows the nucleotide dispensation order. E, enzyme-only control; S, substrate-only control. The initial nucleotide injected (C) is irrelevant to the sequence and provides a baseline.Back to article page
