Association of swine leukocyte antigen class II haplotypes and immune-related traits in a swine line selected for resistance to mycoplasmal pneumonia

Highlights • We examined association of swine MHC (SLA) class II haplotypes with traits in pigs. • The line studied had improved resistance to mycoplasmal pneumonia of swine (MPS). • Two haplotypes showed increased frequency and decreased MPS lesions. • Two haplotypes, associated with increased MPS...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • We examined association of swine MHC (SLA) class II haplotypes with traits in pigs. • The line studied had improved resistance to mycoplasmal pneumonia of swine (MPS). • Two haplotypes showed increased frequency and decreased MPS lesions. • Two haplotypes, associated with increased MPS lesions, decreased in frequency. • SLA class II haplotypes are useful markers for breeding to decrease MPS lesions.
