Abstract
Six new OLA factors of the sheep histocompatibility complex are described. Three of them, C14, C15, C17 are the products of 3 alleles at a 3rd locus of the complex: OLA-C, closely linked to OLA-A and B. Two factors, A13 and B12, are the products of 2 alleles at OLA-A and B loci. The last factor (16) is the product of an OLA gene, the locus of which is not yet defined. Twenty eight haplotypes are described. Genes at the 3 OLA loci are in linkage disequilibrium.
