Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analyses of swine leukocyte antigen (SLA) class I and class II genes from Swiss Large White and American Hampshire families were performed using porcine DNA probes. Class I and class II RFLPs associated with the serologically-defined haplotypes SLA H1, H8, H16 and H24 and with serotypes SLA 15, 16; SLA 14; and SLA 6, SB 19, were identified. Seven allelic class I RFLP patterns were observed. For genes in the SLA class II region, six allelic RFLP patterns of DQA and DQB; five allelic RFLP patterns of DRA; and seven allelic RFLP patterns of DRB were observed. The serologicallydefined H8 haplotype was subtyped based on differences in class II RFLPs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
