Abstract excerpt
It is well known that the estrogen receptor alpha gene (ESR1) affects the reproductive traits of pigs; however, the immune role of ESR1 gene has not yet been resolved. Here, we characterized the pleiotropic aspects of ESR1 gene in immunity using the pig model. Tissue expression profile showed that the ESR1 gene had a broad ectopic expression in multiple reproductive and immune-related tissues/organs, which...
