Genetic markers for screening animals for improved disease resistance (NRAMP)

   
   

A method for determining improved innate immunity, disease resistance or performance in animals is disclosed. The method involves assays for a genetic differences in the NRAMP1 gene of the animal which is associated with superior disease resistance. Novel NRAMP1 sequence, assays, and compositions for identifying the presence of absence of these alleles are provided.

Um método para determinar o immunity, a resistência da doença ou o desempenho innate melhorado nos animais é divulgado. O método envolve assays para diferenças genetic no gene NRAMP1 do animal que é associado com a resistência superior da doença. A seqüência, os assays, e as composições da novela NRAMP1 para identificar a presença da ausência destes alleles são fornecidos.
