Abstract

Eighty-six Jersey animals resistant to bovine leukosis virus (BLV) were tested for lymphocyt antigens by cytotoxicity test. A sample of 10 cc of peripheric blood of each animal was colected in culture medium and taken to laboratory. Erythrocites were typed according to developed techniques. The results analyzed and compared with those from a normal population, showed a significant increase of frequence of the alleles W5 and W12 in the experimental population, suggesting that these alleles could be considered as possible genetic mark for BLV resistance in cattle.
