Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Bovine leukaemia virus (BLV)-infected Holstein cattle carrying certain bovine leukocyte antigen (BoLA)-DRB3 alleles were previously shown to be resistant to BLV provirus multiplication, while those carrying other alleles were susceptible. This study aimed to determine whether the BoLA-DRB3 alleles carried by BLV-infected cattle could predict proviral load (PVL) and peripheral blood lymphocyte (PBL)...
