Abstract: A variant strain of rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus which was named “Yaan-1” was isolated and identified in China The virus lacked HA activity at 25,37 and 4 ℃,but gave positive results in agar diffusion reaction(ADR) and counter immunoelectrophoresis (CIE) The capsid protein(VP60)of Yaan1 strain was cloned by RT-PCR and sequenced VP60 gene of Yaan-1 was 1 740 nt in size and encoding 579 aa Alignment with other 14 sequences of RHDV isolates in the world showed that the homology were 90.0%-98.0% for nucleotide sequence,and 94.1%-99.0%for amino acid sequence respectively The results indicated that the sequence of VP60 gene of different RHDV isolates, including nonhaemagglutinating Yaan-1 strain, were highly homologous The hydrophilicity plot, flexible regions, antigenic index of VP60 protein of Yaan-1 strain, etc were also analyzed
