Abstract
Analysis of restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) of the lys ozyme gene cluster was performed in a Norwegian bovine family segregat ing a single dominant Mendelian factor for high lysozyme activity in s erum. An RFLP site with allelic bands of 16 kb and 5.9 kb turned out t o be linked to the locus for the high lysozyme activity factor with a lod score of 6.8 at a recombination fraction of 3.4%. This implies tha t we have revealed a genetic marker for the high lysozyme activity tra it.
