Cloning and Sequence Analysis of S1 Gene of Avian Nephropathogenic Infectious Bronchitis Virus QD Isolate

One nephropathogenic infectious bronchitis virus （IBV） strain was isolated from Qingdao city, named as QD isolate.S1 gene of the strain was amplified, cloned and sequenced. The S1 gene of QD isolate was composed of 1620 nucleotides, and a spike glycoprotein cleavage recognition site was Arg-Arg-Phe-Arg-Arg. The nucleotide acid similarities among the nine IBV vaccine strains and the QD strain were 78.8% to 82.2%. Phylogenetic analysis based on the S1 genes showed that QD strain and the vaccine strains belonged to different clusters, and showed larger evolutionary distances, but showed the smaller evolutionary distances with the field nephropathogenic IBV strains in China. The result showed that nephropathogenic IBV strains were widely popular in China, and the QD strain could be used as the infectious bronchitis vaccine candidate strain.
