Immunogenetic study on the polymorphism of serum alpha 2-lipoprotein in mink. III. Ld1 allotype of low-density lipoprotein.

Mink Ldl antigen of serum low-density lipoprotein was demonstrated by alloantibodies. No genetic relation was found between Ldl and the Lpm system of very-high-density lipoprotein. The existence of an autosomal dominant gene, coding for the new alloantigenic marker, is postulated on the basis of mink breeding data.
