Abstract excerpt
In order to examine the loci factor B (BF), C3, corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH), DQB, DRB, haptoglobin (HP) and transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFB1) for association with traits of humoral, specific and unspecific defence F2-animals of a porcine resource family were genotyped at single nucleotide polymorphisms within these loci. Haemolytic complement activity in the alternative and classical pathway,...
