Immunogenetic correlation between blood protein polymorphism and treatment with PMSG and PGf[2alpha] in Buffaloes

ABSTRACT

23 buffalos [Bubalus bubalis] were treated with 2000 IU PMSG, followed by 25 mg PGF-2 alpha for induction of superovulation. Biochemical polymorphism analysis was done by using SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis for determination of 4 blood protein systems, albumin [Al], polymorphism [Pa], transferrin [Tf] and post-transferrin [Pt]. From the results obtained it was concluded that there are a positive correlation between plasma progesterone levels and AlA allele and also, between estrous phase and PaA allele frequencies. Determination of these alleles can be used as a tool for predilection of the phase of estrus
