<p>Dots denote gaps introduced for maximum matching. Numbers in brackets indicate overall sequence identities between CsBAFF and the compared sequences. The consensus residues are in black, and the residues that are ≥75% identical among the aligned sequences are in blue. The three conserved cysteine residues are indicated by asterisks, and the putative furin cleavage site is boxed in red. The GenBank accession numbers of the aligned sequences are as follows: <i>Epinephelus awoara</i>, AFN70720.1; <i>Miichthys miiu</i>, AHL44989.1; <i>Salmo salar</i>, ACI33633.1; <i>Takifugu obscurus</i>, AEB69781.1; <i>Oreochromis niloticus</i>, AHF20914.1; <i>Danio rerio</i>, NP_001107062.1; <i>Ctenopharyngodon idella</i>, AGG11791.1.</p
