Abstract

Lymphocyte antigens (BoLA) typing on 247 Baoule taurines (Bos taurus) and 106 Sudanian zebus (Bos indicus), allowed to determine gene frequencies of 43 class 1 specificities, as international « W » and European « EU », as  African  local  from  Kenya  «  KN »  and  Burkina Faso « BF ». In comparing these frequencies, it appears that some specificities could be considered as significant breed markers for Baoule taurines and zebus.
