Figure 3 Alignment of Amino Acid Sequences of Partial Capsid Viral Protein of Cardiac EV Isolates From 8 Patients Who Died of Acute MI

Amino acid sequences of partial capsid viral protein region of cardiac enterovirus (EV) isolates from 8 patients who died of acute myocardial infarction (MI), and of reference coxsackievirus B (CV-B) sequences retrieved from GenBank (M16560, AF085363, M16572, and X05690 for CV-B1, -B2, -B3, and -B4, respectively). The alignments were performed with reference to the CV-B2 sequence. The homology was >85% between sequences of strains from patients 1 to 4 and CV-B2 and from patients 5 to 8 and CV-B3. Differences are printed in full. Dash = identical amino acid; dot = amino acid deletion; star = undetermined amino acid.
