A. Estomba et al., AN IMPROVED METHOD FOR TYPING OF PLASMA ALPHA(1)-PROTEASE INHIBITOR (PI1) VARIANTS IN SHEEP, Animal genetics, 24(2), 1993, pp. 133-134
Sheep plasma alpha1-protease inhibitor (PI1) variants were typed by an
alysing neuraminidase treated samples by isoelectric focusing in ultra
thin polyacrylamide gels followed by staining for trypsin inhibition.
The 10 different PI1 phenotypes observed were shown to be controlled b
y four codominant alleles. The probability of sire exclusion provided
by PI1 polymorphism was about 0.45 in both of the studied milk sheep b
reeds (Latxa and Karrantzar) of the Basque Country.
