To assess the relationship between the expression of a(1,2)-fucosyltransferase (FUT1 and FUT2) genes and resistance to Escherichia coli F18 in weaned pigs, FUT1 and FUT2 expression levels in Large White, Meishan, and Sutai pigs (with resistance to E. coli F18) were determined using real-time PCR. The results revealed that FUT1 and FUT2 expression levels were higher in the liver, lungs, kidneys, stomach, duodenum, and jejunum than in the muscle and heart.

Analysis of polymorphisms in the FUT1 and TAP1 genes and their influence on immune performance in Pudong White pigs

FUT1 and TAP1 have been identified as candidate genes that offer resistance against Escherichia coli F18 infection, with the AA genotype in FUT1 and the GG genotype in TAP1 conferring resistance. In order to confirm polymorphisms at FUT1 M307 and TAP1 G729, and evaluate their influence on immunity performance in Pudong White pigs, we performed polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis, measured immune indices, and compared the results with those observed in Large White pigs.
