Apolipoprotein C polymorphism in sheep: allele frequencies and association with plasma lipid and lipoprotein levels.

The genetic polymorphism of apolipoprotein C in normal plasma of four European sheep breeds (Suffolk, Corriedale, Cheviot, and Finn) was first detected using one-dimensional polyacrylamide gel isoelectric focusing (pH 2.5-5.0) followed by immunoblotting with antihuman apolipoprotein CII antibody.
