Polymorphism of acid phosphatase in chicken leucocytes
Animal Blood Groups and Biochemical Genetics
|January 1, 1979
Abstract:
Three individual variants of acid phosphatase in chicken leucocytes were found by means of starch gel electrophoresis. The phenotype in leucocytes showed the same appearance as polymorphic forms of liver acid phosphatase in the same bird. The study of the Hardy-Weinberg distribution of the phenotypes of acid phosphatase in leucocytes also indicated that they are controlled by the same pair of codominant autosomal alleles as the phenotypes in the liver. Acid phosphatase is polymorphic in all six strains of chickens studied.
