Abstract excerpt
The alpha (1,2)fucosyltransferase (FUT1) gene has been identified as a candidate gene for controlling the expression of the enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) F18 receptor. Polymorphisms were detected at the M307 position in FUT1 of a breeding base population of Sutai pigs and their correlations to immune parameters analyzed. After digestion by Hin6I, three genotypes were identified at M307, AA (frequency...
