Abstract excerpt
The nonhemoglobin erythrocytic X-protein polymorphism consisting of two phenotypes called X-positive [X(+)] and X-negative [X(-)] was determined in 576 unrelated healthy native sheep of East Asia, using one-dimensional and horizontal starch gel electrophoresis. A striking difference in the frequency of the X allele coding dominantly for the X(+) type between the northern and southern populations of native East...
