Resumo

Summary Eight swine leucocyte antigen (SLA) gene (SLA‐1, SLA‐2, SLA‐3, SLA‐6, DRA, DRB1, DQA, DQB1) alleles were identified using sequence‐based typing method in three Korean native pigs used for breeding at the National Institute of Animal Science in Korea. Six new alleles in class I genes and three new alleles in class II genes have been identified in this breed and can give valuable information for xenotransplantation and disease resistance.
