Polymorphism of the BoLA system.
The bovine lymphocyte antigen system (BoLA) was studied by serological methods. Evidence for the existence of one locus was established and six codominant alleles were found to segregate at this first locus. The frequency varied considerably among these genes, and the presence of a null allele suggests that new BoLA specificities are likely to be found in the cattle population.
