Serologically defined (SD) locus in cattle

Science. 1978 Jul 14;201(4351):159-60. doi: 10.1126/science.663645.

Abstract

Using cytotoxic serums obtained from multiparous cows or by alloimmunization, we have detected 11 lymphocyte antigens controlled by codominant alleles at a serologically defined locus called BoLA-A (bovine lymphocyte antigens). This locus, along with the lymphocyte defined loci previously reported, establishes the existence of a major histocompatibility system of cattle.
