Abstract excerpt
Sequence differences within the pig apoB gene can be used to identify rapidly four of eight known pig apoB alleles, designated LPB1-LBP8. We describe the use of gene amplification, followed by endonuclease digestion and agarose gel electrophoresis, to discern size and restriction site differences. LPB5, a common allele associated with reduced low density lipoprotein clearance and hypercholesterolaemia in pigs, is...
