Co-segregation of alleles at a microsatellite locus within the macrophage expressed lysozyme gene and levels of serum lysozyme activity in two half-sib families of Polish black and white lowland cattle.

Abstract excerpt

Alleles at a microsatellite locus within the macrophage expressed lysozyme gene were shown to co-segregate with lysozyme activity in two half-sib families of Polish Black and White Lowland cattle. The bimodal distribution of lysozyme activities in both progeny groups is concordant with the occurrence of the alternative paternal alleles. The microsatellite is linked to a locus for high lysozyme activity that...
