Haemopoietic chimaerism: a complication in heterozygote detection tests for inherited defects in cattle.

Abstract excerpt

Several observations are documented which illustrate that haemopoietic chimaerism is a potential source of error when using assays of cellular components of blood to determine genotype for inherited defects in cattle. Acidic alpha-glucosidase activity in peripheral mononuclear cells of a twin Brahman bull that had sired calves affected with generalized glycogenosis was similar to that in cells from homozygous...
