Alignment of deduced amino acid sequences in MHR(aa99-aa169) of 20 clones with consensus sequence from published Chinese isolates with genotype B/subtype adw2(GenBank accession number AB033554, AF100309, D00329, AF397207, EU305547, EU589335 and GU145102). One-letter code was used for amino acid in consensus sequence, homologous amino acids were indicated with dots, deleted amino acid with dash, and premature stop codon with asterisk. Heterologous amino acids were specified. Inserted amino acids were indicated with grey boxes.
