VP2 hypervariable region remains unmodified after rCu-1 and rvv rescue. VP2 HVR of the recombinant viruses rCu-1 (A) and rvv (B) were recovered by RT-PCR and sequenced. Sequencing results were compared with the consensus sequence of each strain. Both schemes show in black squares the amino acidic signature for each recombinant virus as well as the corresponding codon for each amino acid. The bigger letter represents the nucleotide change for each codon between both strains. A dashed line replaced the remaining nucleotide sequence.
