| Abstract: | A porcine cosmid library was screened with a human MHC class I cDNA. Four positive clones were isolated and mapped with different restriction endonucleases. Altogether nine SLA class I genes were identified and their positions located within restriction maps. Sizes of class I homologous DNA sequences varied between 3600 and 5800bp. The distances between these regions ranged from 11900 to 22200bp. |
