Highlights
The phenotypes of blood serum amylase (Am), alkaline phosphatase (Akp), prealbumin (Pra), transferrin (Tf), haemopexin (Hpx) were determined by 'starch gel electrophoresis according to Hesselholt (1969) and Zagulska (1976)
The results of the investigation show that Am, Akp, Pra, Tf and Hpx phenotypes and alleles may be to some extent a genetic marker of natural resistance or susceptibility to leptospirosis in pigs of the Large White breed
The physiological function of blood serum Hpx indicated their main role in the processes connected with leptospirosis infection
Summary
Serum samples had been chosen from the diagnostic materials of the Veterinary Hygiene Research Station. The pigs were taken from two farms. The phenotypes of blood serum amylase (Am), alkaline phosphatase (Akp), prealbumin (Pra), transferrin (Tf), haemopexin (Hpx) were determined by 'starch gel electrophoresis according to Hesselholt (1969) and Zagulska (1976). The whole population was divided into two groups. Pigs with negative results to leptospirosis test were placed in group I, pigs with positive results formed group II. The serological test method used microscope agglutination following the recommendations of the Experts Committee WHO (1967a, 1967b, 1972). The effect of selection in relation to polymorphic loci was determined according to Semenova (1976) and Semenova et al (1976)
