[Histonet] Determining MHC Haplotype in Pigs

[Merced M Leiker]

I think I will re-phrase an earlier post of mine from yeserday inquiring 
immunophenotyping in pigs.  :-) Would I would actually like to know is how 
to determine the MHC haplotype of a pig. (Their MHC is called SLA). 
Preferably using immunohistochemistry or flow cytometry.

What we ultimately would like to do is grow certain pig cells in vitro and 
then inject them back into any pig of the same haplotype without risk of 
immune rejection.

Any help or any pointers to a reference would be helpful! Thank you and 
have a nice long weekend for those celebrating the holiday....
