The polymorphism of the fourth complement component was studied in 118 unrelated dogs from different breeds and 73 unrelated beagles. In the mixed breed population, five different variants were observed with the following gene frequencies: C4*1 = 3.9%; C4*2 = 13.6%; C4*21 = 6.0%; C4*3 = 9.0% and C4*4 = 51.1%. In beagles, only four variants could be identified with gene frequencies of C4*2 = 24.2%; C4*21 = 1.4%; C4*3 = 20.6% and C4*4 = 46.3%. In both populations analyzed positive linkage disequilibria between certain DLA antigens and C4 variants were recognized. The biochemical analysis of the canine C4 revealed a double-banding pattern for the C4 alpha chain which gives preliminary evidence for two gene loci encoding for the fourth complement component in the dog.

D011110 Polymorphism, Genetic The regular and simultaneous occurrence in a single interbreeding population of two or more discontinuous genotypes. The concept includes differences in genotypes ranging in size from a single nucleotide site (POLYMORPHISM, SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE) to large nucleotide sequences visible at a chromosomal level.

D006649 Histocompatibility Antigens A group of antigens that includes both the major and minor histocompatibility antigens. The former are genetically determined by the major histocompatibility complex. They determine tissue type for transplantation and cause allograft rejections. The latter are systems of allelic alloantigens that can cause weak transplant rejection.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
