Popis: This large study investigates the associations between bovine major histocompatibility complex DRB3 alleles and their binding pockets with the immune response to a 40-mer peptide derived from foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) VP1. A crossbred (Charolais and Holstein) cattle population (n=197) was immunised with the FMDV peptide and specific IgG1 and IgG2 responses were measured. Eighteen different DRB3 alleles were detected in this population, with several exhibiting highly significant associations with antibody response. Allele DRB3*1601 was correlated with relatively low IgG1 and IgG2 responses (p
