Abstract excerpt
The major histocompatibility complex in cattle (BoLA) is regulated by genes that are closely related to the development of the immunological response to pathogens. The most polymorphic BoLA-DRB3.2 locus was analysed in 209 black-and-white Holstein-Friesian cows in Poland in order to a better explanation of influence of MHC on immunity to diseases in dairy cattle. A total of 23 alleles were identified, among which...
