Abstract excerpt
Using a cDNA probe of the ceruloplasmin (CP) gene, a new restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) was detected in inbred strains of rat with the restriction enzyme KpnI. The RFLP behaved as a codominant trait on a single autosomal locus. Two alleles of the CP gene, which were tentatively designated as CP-A and CP-B, were almost equally distributed in 10 inbred strains. These indicate that the RFLP of the...
