Abstract excerpt
Natural resistance associated macrophage protein 1 (NRAMP1), an integral transmembrane protein, is reported to influence the intraphagosomal microbial replication and thereby confer resistance to several intracellular pathogens in mice. In bovine, a significant association of (GT)(13) allelic variant of polymorphic microsatellite at 3' untranslated region (UTR) of NRAMP1 gene with natural resistance to...
