Further data on adenosine deaminase polymorphism in pigs and evidence for a new allele.

Abstract excerpt

Evidence was provided for a new erythrocyte ADA allele (Aw) in the Swedish Landrace breed of pigs. The enzyme activity of Aw variant was considerably less than that of the previously reported erythrocyte ADA variants A and B. The mobility of the Aw variant was identical to that of the A variant, both by electrophoresis and by isoelectric focusing. The in vitro heat stability (at 56 degrees C) of the Aw variant...
