title: Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) of exon 2 of the MhcBibi-DRB3 gene in American bison (Bison bison).
abstract: Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primers specific to exon 2 of the bovine lymphocyte antigen (BoLA)-DRB3 gene were successfully used to amplify the equivalent region in 469 American bison (Bison bison). In domestic cattle, alleles of DRB3 are assigned through a restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of the patterns of fragment lengths observed after digestion with the restriction enzymes RsaI, BstYI and HaeIII. In bison, using the same procedure, the observed RFLP patterns provided evidence for the strong conservation of restriction sites previously reported in cattle.
