Polymorphism of the transferrin locus (Tf) was found in the laboratory rat and wild rats in Japan by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Two phenotypes, "a" and "b," were distinguished in homozygotes. It is suggested that these are controlled by autosomal codominant alleles. In 10 laboratory strains, only the IS strain showed the a type. This allele found in the IS strain was broadly distributed in Japanese wild...
