    Inheritance of antibody response in animals suggests codominance. Analysis of 1527 F1 animals across 91 immunogenetic systems indicates that both high and low antibody response alleles are expressed equally.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunogenetics
    • Animal immunology
    • Quantitative trait genetics

    Background:

    • Immunogenetic (IR-gene) systems differentiate animals by antibody production levels.
    • High and low responders exhibit distinct antibody titers post-immunization.
    • Understanding the genetic basis of antibody response is crucial for selective breeding and disease resistance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the mode of inheritance for antibody response in immunogenetic systems.
    • To quantify the degree of dominance for antibody production traits.
    • To investigate whether alleles for high and low antibody response are codominant.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of F1 hybrid offspring from crosses between high and low responder parent strains.
    • Calculation of the dominance index using a standardized formula.

  • Statistical evaluation of dominance across 91 distinct immunogenetic systems and 1527 F1 animals.

    • Main Results:

    • The calculated mean dominance index was +0.0076 +/- 0.1053, closely approximating zero.
    • This value indicates a lack of dominance, suggesting equal contribution from both parental alleles.
    • Results are consistent with codominant inheritance patterns for antibody response.

    Conclusions:

    • Antibody response in immunogenetic systems likely follows codominant inheritance.
    • Both alleles, conferring high and low antibody production, appear to be expressed in F1 hybrids.
    • This finding has implications for predicting and manipulating antibody response in animal populations.
