Abstract excerpt
Findings from previous studies suggested that the cluster of the differentiation 8 alpha (CD8A) gene plays a prominent role in human T lymphocyte subpopulations. However, the evidence from pig population is still rare. To determine whether the important role of the CD8A gene is conserved in pig, a candidate gene analysis was performed herein through genotype-phenotype associations. Five single-nucleotide...
