In the present study, an allele-specific primer-polymerase chain reaction (ASP-PCR) for genotyping a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of swine Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) (C1205T; P402L) that is related to the impaired recognition of Salmonella enterica serovar Choleraesuis (SC) was developed. The allele frequencies in several pig breeds in Japan and the Czech Republic were also compared. The swine TLR5 C1205T mutation was successfully determined by ASP-PCR using genomic DNA samples in Japan that had previously been genotyped by a sequencing method. Using the PCR condition determined, genomic DNA samples from blood obtained from 110 pigs from seven different breeds in the Czech Republic were genotyped by the ASP-PCR. The genotyping results from the ASP-PCR completely matched the results from the sequencing method. The allele frequency of the swine TLR5 C1205T mutation was 27.5% in the Landrace breed of the Czech Republic compared with 50.0% in Japanese Landrace. In Japan, the C1205T mutation was found only in the Landrace breed, whereas in the Czech Republic it was found in both the Landrace and Piétrain breeds. These results indicate the usefulness of ASP-PCR for detecting a specific SNP for swine TLR5 affecting ligand recognition. They also suggest the possibility of genetically improving pigs to enhance their resistance against SC infection by eliminating or selecting this specific SNP of swine TLR5.

In the present study, we have developed an allele-specific primer-polymerase chain reaction (ASP-PCR) for genotyping a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of swine Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) (C406G), which is related to the prevalence of pneumonia caused by Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae. We also compared the allele frequency among several pig breeds of Japan and the Czech Republic. Allele-specific primers were constructed by introducing 1-base mismatch sequence before the SNP site. The swine TLR2 C406G mutation was successfully determined by the ASP-PCR using genomic DNA samples in Japan as previously genotyped by a sequencing method. Using the PCR condition determined, genomic DNA samples from pig blood obtained from 110 pigs from 7 different breeds in the Czech Republic were genotyped by the ASP-PCR. The genotyping results from the ASP-PCR were completely matched with the results from the sequencing method. The allele frequency of the swine TLR2 C406G mutation was 27.5% in the Czech Republic and 3.6% in Japan. The C406G mutation was only found in the Landrace breed in Japan, and was almost exclusively found in the Landrace breed in the Czech Republic as well. These results indicated the usefulness of ASP-PCR for detecting a specific SNP for swine TLR2.
