Abstract excerpt
Our aim was to investigate the effect of the porcine bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein (BPI) on the susceptibility to enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli F18 (ETEC F18). Specifically, we wanted to determine whether the HpaII restriction polymorphism in exon 10 of BPI mediates susceptibility to ETEC F18. Thirty verified ETEC F18-resistant and thirty susceptible Sutai (Duroc×Taihu) piglets were identified...
