sequence. Due to constant possibility of a novel influenza pandemics occurrence, a highly effective vaccine
should be proceeding through the development to reduce both financial and medical losses.
The first step in the development of a novel vaccine is cloning and sequencing of hemagglutinin gene.
Firstly, total RNA was isolated from aquatic birds by a standard protocol. Then RNA of HA was used to
synthesize HA’s cDNA by reverse transcription method to study and analyze its nucleotide sequence of
influenza A virus. In this work we have obtained cDNA from 3 different subtypes. Complete and amplified
HA genes of 3 various subtypes were cloned into T- vector, which has thymine molecules on its end to
facilitate consequent cloning. T-vector allows for direct selection of target products right during
amplification, that is why additional investigative methods were not required. Further, we have determined
nucleotide sequences of HA genes by using standard protocols of Sanger sequencing on computational
sequencer. HA genes of H1A and H3A subtypes were subcloned into viral vector based on the Grapevine
virus A genome to investigate expression of HA proteins in plants. Moreover, we performed phylogenetic
analysis of the H1A and H3A proteins to understand their evolutionary relationship.
