Abstract: Genetic polymorphism on exon 2 of MHC-DQA gene was investigated in 4 rabbits breeds by PCR-RFLP method with Mbo Ⅱ enzyme, and cluster analysis was also performed. The results showed that there was a polymorphism at position 103 bp of exon 2 of MHC-DQA. The χ2 tests showed that Mbo Ⅱ restriction enzyme sites were not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium among ZIKA large New Zealand white rabbits and ZIKA giant white rabbits(P<0.05), while in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium among California rabbit and Qixin rabbit(P>0.05), cluster analysis showed that ZIKA large New Zealand white rabbits had the closest genetic relationship with ZIKA giant white rabbits. The results obtained in this study will provide a molecular biological basis for further analysis of relationship of MHC polymorphism and disease resistance in rabbit.
