Productivity in dairy cattle and buffaloes depends on the genetic factors governing the
production of milk and milk constituents as well as genetic factors controlling disease …

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) in sheep, Ovar-Mhc, is poorly characterised,
when compared to other domestic animals. However, its basic structure is similar to that of …

During a previous investigation an association was found between major histocompatibility
complex (MHC)-DRB1 alleles and faecal egg counts following natural infection …

Previous studies initiated defining the role of host genetics in influencing the outcome of
exposure to ovine progressive pneumonia virus. However, specific genes influencing host …

Research on the structure of the ovine major histocompatibility complex (MHC), Ovar-Mhc,
and its association with resistance to various diseases in sheep has received increasing …

To investigate the genetic diversity of the sheep MHC (Ovar) class II DRB1 locus, we
amplified exon 2 of Ovar‐DRB1 alleles by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and determined …

Suffolk sheep carrying the DRB1* 1101 (previously referred to as-DRB1* 0203 or G2) allele
have been reported to show increased resistance to natural Teladorsagia circumcincta …

This study characterises the expressed MHC class II DRB gene and its genetic variation in
exon 2 among 59 Alpine chamois (Rupicapra r. rupicapra) from several locations in the …

The DQB1 locus is located in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II region and
involved in immune response. We identified 20 polymorphic sites in a 228 bp fragment of …

Single-strand conformational polymorphism analysis and DNA sequencing were used to
characterize Mhc-DRB second exon variability in the Latxa and Karrantzar breeds of sheep …
