Abstract: 【Objective】 Based on the difference of hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA), avian influenza viruses (AIVs) are classified into 16 hemagglutinin (HA) and 9 neuraminidase (NA) subtypes. According to the differences in pathogenicity, AIVs can be divided into highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) and low pathogenic avian influenza virus (LPAIV). H4 AIVs are low pathogenic influenza viruses which are generally produced asymptomatic infections in poultry. But H4 AIVs also has potential threats to both poultry and mammals. Strengthening investigation on H4 subtype avian influenza viruses is important for the study of evolution of AIVs. The objective of this experiment is to investigate the molecule characteristics and genetic evolution of H4 subtype avian influenza virus. 【Method】One H4N8 subtype avian influenza virus, designated as A/duck/Nanjing/1102/2010 (H4N8) (DK/NJ/1102), was isolated from a live poultry market in eastern China during epidemiological surveillance in 2010. The complete genome sequences of the strain was sequenced and analyzed. The virus was identified by HA/HI test and RT-PCR test. The gene was cloned into pGEM-Teasy vector for sequencing, respectively. BLAST the nucleotide identity in GeneBank. The genome sequences of H4 subtype influenza viruses available in GeneBank and some other reference sequences were downloaded for genetic analysis .【Result】The results showed that the HA gene of DK/NJ/1102 had the highest nucleotide sequence identity of 98.9% with A/duck/Mongolia/274/2007(H4N3), and the amino acid sequence at the cleavage region of the HA gene was “P-E-K-A-S-R-G”, which is typical for low pathogenicity AIVs. NA gene had the highest nucleotide sequence identity of 98.8% with a duck-origin virus A/Duck/Eastern China/n91/2009 (H3N8) isolated from eastern China, whereas PB1, PA and NP genes were all mostly related with H1 subtype avian influenza viruses. The M gene shared the greatest nucleotide sequence identities (over 99.9%) with A/wild duck/Korea/CSM4-12/2009(H5N1) while the NS gene was most closely related to H7N7 subtype AIV isolated from Korea in 2009 and there was no amino acids missing in NS1 protein at 80-84 sites.【Conclusion】These data indicated that the genome composition of the strain A/duck/ Nanjing/1102/2010(H4N8) was complicated, it may be a reassortant whose genes originated from different subtypes of AIV.
