title: Interspecies cross-reactivity of bovine lymphocytotoxic sera with pig lymphocytes.
abstract: Forty-three bovine BoLA antisera were tested on pig lymphocytes by a microlymphocytotoxicity test. Twenty-five were found to be cytolytic. Fifteen sera detected the A blood group antigen on porcine lymphocytes but showed no reaction with the J antigen on bovine lymphocytes. Six BoLA reagents reacted with all pig cells tested. Cross-reactions with SLA antigens were observed in only four sera, the highest correlation being recorded with SLA-W7 (r = 0.87). Bovine alloantisera are not of value for SLA typing.
