Dynamic Expression Pattern of SERPINA1 Gene from Duck (Anas platyrhynchos).

ABSTRACT: SERPINA1 is a member of serine protease inhibitors and is increasingly considered to be a regulator of innate immunity in human and animals. However, the expression and function of SERPINA1 gene in immune defense against viral infection remain unknown in ducks. The full-length du SERPINA1 cDNA sequence was obtained using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE). It contained 1457 nucleotide, including 47-bp 5' UTR, 135-bp 3' UTR, and 1275-bp open reading frame (ORF), and encodes a 424-amino acid protein. Then, the tissue expression profile of du SERPINA1 gene was determined. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (real-time qPCR) analysis revealed that du SERPINA1 mRNA is ubiquitous in various tissues, but
