Abstract excerpt
The most common kappa casein (kappa-CN) variants, kappa-CN A and kappa-CN B, are synthesised differentially in the lactating mammary gland of heterozygous animals (kappa-CN AB). In this study we evaluated several approaches for quantification of allele specific mRNA transcripts. The most consistent results were obtained using allele specific RT-PCR and capillary electrophoresis. On average, 13.4% more allele B...
