Abstract

We have molecularly cloned the complete genomic DNA of TM2 strain of feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) isolated in Japan and compared its nucleotide and the deduced amino acid sequence with those of previously described U.S. isolates, FIV Petaluma and FIV PPR. The infectious molecular clone of FIV TM2 is different from FIV Petaluma in host cell range; the clone can not infect Crandell feline kidney cells which were permissive for FIV Petaluma. The amino acid sequence homologies, in gag, pol, and env genes between FIV TM2 and Petaluma were 90%, 87%, and 81%, respectively. On the other hand, comparative analysis of each gene between FIV Petaluma and PPR showed 96,95, and 85%, respectively. These results suggested that the genomic diversity was present among FIV strains isolated from geographically distant areas. Interestingly, tat- and rev-like short open reading frames contained inframe stop codons in the FIV Petaluma but not in the FIV TM2.
