title: Chromosomal localization of leukocyte interferon gene in the pig (Sus scrofa domestica L.) by in situ hybridization.
abstract: Using as a probe pig genomic DNA, including the complete interferon alpha gene, we have mapped the leukocyte interferon gene on pig chromosome 1 by in situ hybridization. A total of 196 silver grains were noted on the 106 metaphases scored: 31% of the grains were observed on chromosome 1, and 67% of these were localized in the region 1q2.2----q2.7.
