Sequence-based characterization of the eight SLA loci in Korean native pigs

Int J Immunogenet. 2008 Aug;35(4-5):333-4. doi: 10.1111/j.1744-313X.2008.00775.x. Epub 2008 Jun 10.

Abstract

Eight swine leucocyte antigen (SLA) gene (SLA-1, SLA-2, SLA-3, SLA-6, DRA, DRB1, DQA, DQB1) alleles were identified using sequence-based typing method in three Korean native pigs used for breeding at the National Institute of Animal Science in Korea. Six new alleles in class I genes and three new alleles in class II genes have been identified in this breed and can give valuable information for xenotransplantation and disease resistance.
