Objective To amplify and clone SDF-1α gene and to predict its function by bioinformatic analysis. Methods The SDF-1α was amplified by RT-PCR, then identified by sequencing. Function of SDF-1α was predicted by bioinformatic analysis with Intemet and GenBank databse. Results SDF-1α was amplified and sequenced correctly. The SDF-1α contained a single open reading frame (ORF) of 270 base pairs with the potential to encode a protain of 89 and had the highest similarity with human, cat and dog. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR analysis of mRNA from di...
