Analysis of polymorphisms in the FUT1 and TAP1 genes and their influence on immune performance in Pudong White pigs

Y. Zhang, Wang, M., Yu, X. Q., Ye, C. R., and Zhu, J. G., Analysis of polymorphisms in the FUT1 and TAP1 genes and their influence on immune performance in Pudong White pigs, vol. 14, pp. 17193-17203, 2015.

FUT1 and TAP1 have been identified as candidate genes that offer resistance against Escherichia coli F18 infection, with the AA genotype in FUT1 and the GG genotype in TAP1 conferring resistance. In order to confirm polymorphisms at FUT1 M307 and TAP1 G729, and evaluate their influence on immunity performance in Pudong White pigs, we performed polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis, measured immune indices, and compared the results with those observed in Large White pigs.
