Nomenclature for factors of the dog major histocompatibility system (DLA), 2000: second report of the ISAG DLA Nomenclature Committee

The International Society for Animal Genetics (ISAG) Dog Leukocyte Antigen (DLA) Nomenclature Committee met during the "Comparative Evolution of the Mammalian major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC)" meeting in Manchester, UK on 10 September 2000. The main points discussed were the naming of class I genes and alleles, and the inclusion of alleles from other canidae.

Nomenclature for factors of the dog major histocompatibility system (DLA), 1998: first report of the ISAG DLA Nomenclature Committee

A Nomenclature committee for Factors of the Dog Major Histocompatibility System or Dog Leukocyte Antigen (DLA) has been convened under the auspices of the International Society for Animal Genetics (ISAG) to define a sequence based nomenclature for the genes of the DLA system. The remit of this committee includes: assignment of gene names rules for naming alleles assignment of names to published alleles assignment of names to new alleles rules for acceptance of new alleles DLA Nomenclature Committee, rules for acceptance, DLA genes and alleles, sequence based nomenclature.

A Nomenclature Committee for factors of the dog major histocompatibility system or dog leukocyte antigen (DLA) has been convened under the auspices of the International Society for Animal Genetics (ISAG) to define a sequence-based nomenclature for the genes of the DLA system. The remit of this committee includes: i) assignment of gene names; ii) rules for naming alleles; iii) assignment of names to published alleles; iv) assignment of names to new alleles; and v) rules for acceptance of new alleles.

Researches on DLA-DRB1 genotyping by PCR-RFLP. II. A study of serology and cellularly defined DLA haplotypes and their segregation

The polymerase chain reaction based restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method was used to study DLA class II gene in dogs. Genomic DNA from 11 DLA homozygous reference dogs representing 8 different haplotypes and 2 families with a total of 16 animals were amplified by the oligonucleotide primer pair (HLA-DRB-AMP-A/B) cross-hybridizing HLA-DRB specific and fit for the amplification of DLA-DRB1 gene. The corresponding amplified DNA products were 235 base pairs. Amplified DNA was digested by 32 different restriction endonucleases, which could recognize allelic variations within DLA-DRB. After digesting only with Hae III, Hha I, Hinf I, Rsa I and Sau96 I high polymorphism was revealed respectively and 9 distinct RFLP pattern were shown, which could be correlate to the DLA haplotypes studied. The 8 cellular established DLA-D specificities present in the reference panel were defined unequivocally by PCR-RFLP and correlated with DLA-Dw5 and Dw6 two subtypes. The segregation pattern of four different DLA-DRB types could be demonstrated in two families. Based on these data we conclude that PCR-RFLP typing utilizing the above mentioned primer pair and endonucleases is a valuable tool to define DLA class II types in the dog.
