INTRASPECIFIC VARIATION IN SERUM-PROTEINS OF BROWN HARE (LEPUS-EUROPAEUS PALLAS, 1778)

1. Serum proteins of brown hare (Lepus europaeus Pallas, 1778) were st udied by the use of 1D PAGE, 2D agarose-PAGE, immunoblotting, inhibiti ons of trypsin and chymotrypsin, and specific staining for esterase. 2 . Some serum proteins were identified, and easily interpretable polymo rphisms were found in transferrin, alpha1B glycoprotein, protease inhi bitors ATC2, ATC3 and AT1, esterase ES1 and in an unidentified postalb umin PO. 3. On the basis of family studies the evidence was obtained t hat the variants observed in these polymorphic proteins are under gene tic control by codominant alleles of autosomal loci.
