Summary Polymorphism for two autosomal alleles of equine plasminogen, PLG 1 and PLG 2 , was demonstrated in plasma by isoelectric focusing and immunofixation, with a goat anti‐human plasminogen antibody. The frequency of PLC 2 was 0.16 in 150 Standardbreds, 0.20 in 96 Thoroughbreds, and 0.39 in 32 Shetland ponies. No evidence for linkage of PLG with any of 13 marker loci was found.
