  • Patent number: 7070929
    Abstract: A method for determining improved disease resistance in animals is disclosed. The method assays for a novel genetic alleles of the BPI gene of the animal. The alleles are correlated with superior disease resistance. Novel nucleotide sequences, assays and primers are disclosed for the methods of the invention.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 31, 2002
    Date of Patent: July 4, 2006
    Assignees: Iowa State University Research Foundation, Inc., Pig Inprovement Company UK Limited, The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of Agriculture
    Inventors: Christopher K. Tuggle, Thomas J. Stabel, Xianwei Shi, Martha A. Mellencamp
  • Patent number: 6844159
    Abstract: 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.
