Abstract excerpt
We have previously generated Large White pigs with high immune competence using a selection strategy based on phagocytic activity (PA), capacity of alternative complement pathway, and antibody response after vaccination against swine erysipelas. In this study, to identify the genetic changes caused by the immune selection pressure, we compared gene expression and polymorphisms in the promoter region between pigs...
