in this study, the full-length m2 gene of the avian influenza virus (h9n2) was isolated, analyzed and studied in detail. total rna was extracted and cdna of the m2 mrna was obtained by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (rt-pcr) using random hexamer oligoes; specific primers were used for amplification of the m2 open reading frame (orf) region. pcr was able to amplify the desirable...
