TaqI RFLP polymorphism of the ovine complement component C4 gene.

Protocol: Reactions were performed as described (2) using 1 ng of DNA and 100 pmoles of each primer. DNA was amplified for 20 cycles using a Perkin Elmer Cetus DNA Thermal Cycler: denaturation, 94°C, 1 min; annealing, 60°C, 1 min; and extension, 70°C, 1.5 min. Ten /il of the reaction was analyzed directly on a 2.5 % NuSieve GTG agarose gel run in Tns-borate buffer. The amplified DNA fragments varied in size from ~ 600 to 700 bp (Fig. 1).
