Expression and Analysis of Microtus fortis against Schistosoma japonicum CD36 Gene

The total RNA was extracted from Microtus fortis liver tissue which before being infected and after being infected 10 d and 15 d by the Schistosoma japonicum cercariae. Using Rattus norvegicus CD36 gene probe to hybridize analysis of CD36 difference expression in the Microtus fortis liver tissues which were infected with Schistosoma japonicum before and after being infected. At the same time, the cDNA sequence and encoded amino acid sequence of the Rattus norvegicus CD36 gene and CD36 protein structural domains were analysized by using bioinformatics. The results showed that the CD36 expression levels in the liver tissue of Microtus fortis after being infected were significantly higher than before being infectied. The Rattus norvegicus CD36 cDNA sequence of a total length is 1625 bp and encoded 472 amino acid residues and Rattus norvegicus CD36 protein containing a CD36 superfamily domain.
