This is the first paper describing the cloning of pigeon IFN-g gene (PiIFN-g) and the analysis of the in vitro expressed recombinant protein. The PiIFN-g gene was identified by RT-PCR as a 498 bp, fragment coding for a precursor protein of 165 amino acids instead of 164 amino acids, as observed in t...
