The Nucleocapsid Protein Gene as Excellent target for Detection of Canine Distemper Virus by Reverse Transcriptase-Polymerase Chain Reaction

The genome consists of about 15.7 kilobases (kb), which codes for six structural proteins: the nucleocapsid protein (N), the phosphoprotein (P), the matrix protein (M), the polymerase (L) and the envelope glycoproteins, the fusion protein (F) and the haemagglutinin (H). These last two, located in the lipid envelope surrounding the virion, are responsible for the recognition and entry of the virus into the host cell [1-4]. The helical nucleocapsid contains the N, P and L proteins, which initiate intracellular replication. The M protein connects the glycoproteins of the surface and nucleocapsid during viral maturation [1,5].
