Sammanfattning

The ability to produce interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) in vitro was measured in blood from 200 F-2-crosses between European wild boar and Swedish Yorkshire pigs, originating from a reference pedigree for gene mapping. A total of 200 pigs of 44 litters, descendent from 4 boars and 22 sows, were stressed by transportation together with non-littermates for 5 h. Blood samples were collected from each individual twice, i.e. immediately before transportation and the day after transportation. IFN-alpha production was induced in whole blood cultures by a monolayer of fixed, Aujeszky's disease virus infected, porcine kidney cells. In general, the amount of IFN-alpha produced was significantly lower (p=0.02) the day after transportation, although the ability to produce IFN-alpha showed a large individual variation (p
