The results of previous research on antigenic (allotypic) specificities of immunoglobulins, alpha globulins, beta globulins and lipoproteins in cattle are reviewed. The suitability of heteroantibodies and alloantibodies for identification of this type of markers was analysed. New names/symbols of antigenic markers of proteins in cattle, identified at the Department of Immuno and Cytogenetics of the National Research Institute of Animal Production (Balice/Krak?w, Poland), were introduced.
Alloantibodies detecting antigenic determinats called BgC1 and AmiF1 were obtained in cattle.The analysis of determinants' inheritance was done on 1754 offsprings using 72 sires and 1740 dams.The molecule-carriers of both traits were characterized using serological and physico-chemical methods.It was found that identified determinants are markers of beta-globulin and alpha-microglobulin proteins, and of autosomal, dominant genes BgC1 and AmiF1 from independent loci which control them.
