The geese′s paramyxovirus isolate YG 97 was propagated in 10 day old chicken embryos. The allantonic fluids of the virus were purified and the genomic RNA was extracted. The F gene of the virus has been successfully amplified by RT PCR, and further cloned into pGEM R T vector, and a positive recombintant plasmid was screened by restriction enzyme analysis. The sequence analysis showed that the nucleotide sequence of this F gene was 1 695 bp and encoding a protein of 553 amino acids. The amino a...
