Abstract
The interleukin-2 (IL2) gene was localized to the q22-->q23 bands of c hromosome 17 in cattle using radioactive in situ hybridization. The lo calization confirms the recent provisional assignment of syntenic grou p U23 to this bovine chromosome. Increasing evidence for chromosomal b anding and gene location homology within the Bovidae suggests that the IL2 gene most likely also maps to chromosome 17 in sheep, goats and b uffaloes.
