Abstract Five allotypes, Lpm 1, Lpm 2, Lpm 3, Lpm 4, and Lpm 5, were detected by isoimmunization in mink sera. Immunoelectrophoresis, preparative ultracentrifugation, and histochemical tests for lipids and esterase permitted reference of these alloantigenic markers to a very high density α2-lipoprotein. Based on population analysis and breeding tests, five genetic units are postulated: Lpm 1, Lpm4, Lpm3,4, Lpm1,2, and Lpm 2,4,5. These units determine the polymorphism of the Lpm system and behave as Mendelian alleles.
