Abstract excerpt
PROBLEM: This study was undertaken to identify the number of alleles of the Pa gene at the DNA level and to correlate the presence of the different alleles with the ability of a strain to elicit an anti-Pa antibody response when mated with a WF female. The Pa gene is present in both Pa+ and Pa- strains of rats, but it has unique restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP) in the two types of strains: 1.7 kb...
