To characterize the genetic diversity and allelic composition of the BoLA-DRB3 gene in Kumamoto and Kochi strains of Japanese Brown cattle.
Analyzed the diversity of the BoLA-DRB3 locus within the bovine major histocompatibility complex (MHC).
Assessed two distinct sub-populations: Kumamoto-line and Kochi-line Japanese Brown cattle.
Identified and characterized the genetic composition of BoLA-DRB3 alleles in both Kumamoto and Kochi lineages.
Demonstrated lineage-specific genetic structures that may influence susceptibility or resistance to bovine leukemia virus and enzootic bovine leukosis.
