A serological study of enzootic bovine leukosis in the Bursa Region of Turkey showed that of 459 cattle (282 Holstein, 127 Brown-Swiss and 50 native Boz breed) 42 (9.15 per cent) were seropositive. The seropositive cattle had higher IgGl (P0.001) and lower IgM (P0.01) levels than the seronegative cattle. In addition, the seropositive cattle with persistent lymphocytosis had higher IgGl levels (P0.001), total leucocyte counts (P0.001) and lymphocyte counts (P0.001), than the cattle in the seropositive group without persistent lymphocytosis and the cattle in the seronegative group. There was a posivite correlation (P0.05) between the IgGl levels and the lymphocyte counts of the seropositive cattle with persistent lymphocytosis
