Abstract excerpt
The present study analysed quantitatively the mucin 4 polymorphism for determining the F4ac/ab receptor status of a total of 63 pigs by comparing it with the in vitro villous adhesion assay. The probability of a susceptible genotype for the mucin 4 increases significantly with increasing F4ab or F4ac ETEC adhesion per 250 microm villi (P=0.029 for F4ab, P=0.030 for F4ac), with the odds ratio for each unit...
