Characteristics of immunogenetic systems and blood serum proteins in some pig breeds and Georgian and western Siberian wild boar populations

A bank of reagents for hog serum protein allotypes has been created. All of these allotypes passed international comparison tests in 1987-1988. The ba nk can be used for typing the animals for four generally accepted (Gp, LpB, Lpr, and IgGH) and several experimental systems. In this study, immunogene tic characteristics of some pig breeds (Large White, Lithuanian White, Swed ish Landrace, Kakhetinskaya, and Svanetskaya) bred in Georgia are compared with those of western Siberian breeds (Large White, Kemerovskaya, and North ern Siberian), and some foreign breeds, as well as with European, Caucasian , and Siberian subspecies of the wild boar.
