Summary The class II DR of bovine major histocompatibility complex of cattle ( BoLA ) plays a central role in the regulation of the immune response through their ability to present those peptides to T‐cell receptors. In this work, we sequenced the exon2 of DRB3 to identify new alleles in Chinese yellow cattle, a total of 15 new BoLA‐DRB 3 alleles were found.
