Linkage of the Pig Main Histocompatibility Complex and the J Blood Group System

Abstract
Linkage of the main histocompatibility complex (MHC) and the J blood group locus was demonstrated in pigs by segregation data in families of double back-cross matings. A recombination frequency of 9.82% was estimated. No evidence of close associations with the blood group systems A, B, D, E, F, G, H, I, K, L, M, N and O was found.
