Electrophoretic studies on the blood proteins of domestic dogs and other Canidae

Abstract

This report gives a review of electrophoretic studies on dogs and describes the zymograms of 18 enzymes and 3 proteins in blood from dogs and their relatives. 14 of the enzymes and one protein have identical zymograms in dogs, representing 10 different breeds. The same 14 enzymes and the protein are electrophoretically identical in the wolf and the dog. The jackal and the dog differ in one case, the Hallstrom‐dog and the domestic dog in two cases, the coyote and the dog in three cases, and the red fox and the dog in six cases.

A Study on Morphology and Behavior of the Sapsaree : A Korean native dog (Canis familiaris)

“…Although individual breeds show general uniformity for behavior and morphology, most breeds show evidence of a genetically diverse heritage because of different haplotypes related to the traits (Vila et al, 1997). These results can be supported by analysis of protein alleles (Ferrell et al, 1978;Simonsen, 1976), as well as hypervariable microsatellite loci (Fredholm andWintero, 1995, Zajc et al, 1997). Currently, there are more than 400 registered dog breeds around the world that were bred for various purposes, e.g.…”

On some remains of dog (Canis familiaris) from the Mesolithic shell-middens of Muge, Portugal

“…Most agree that the dog's ancestor is the wolf, Canis lupus (Simonsen, 1976;Clutton-Brock, 1984;Vilà et al, 1999). Studies of the phylogeny and antiquity of the dog via DNA analyses initially produced surprising results with Vilà et al (1997) dating its origin as early as 135,000 years ago!…”

Polymorphism of transferrin and esterase in Alaskan wolves: evidence of close molecular homology with the dog

“…Two wolves in Fig. Simonsen (1976) investigated two wolves from Kiel University, but found no transferrin or esterase variation. The homozygous Tf S type in Fig.…”
