Depression of B-lymphocyte levels in the peripheral blood of cows with mastitis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The levels of B-lymphocytes in the peripheral blood of normal and mastitic cows were evaluated by fluorescent-antibody and erythrocyte-antibody-complement-rosetting techniques. Normal cows (N = 8) had 26.9 +/- 4.4% surface membrane immunoglobulin-positive lymphocytes, whereas mastitic cows (N = 6) had only 16.3 +/- 3.6% similar cells among lymphocyte preparations purified by the Ficoll-Paque density gradient separation and carbonyl iron phagocytosis methods. Studies on smiliar lymphocyte preparations by erythrocyte-antibody-complement-rosetting techniques showed that normal cows (N = 12) had 33.5 +/- 7.1% erythrocyte-antibody-complement-rosetting lymphocytes, whereas mastitic cows (N = 6) had 20.5 +/- 6.0% similar cells.

Calculation of Inbreeding Depression Effects on Subclinical Mastitis Using Three Different Models
Pedigree information of 3972 Holstein cows and bulls, from 1961 to 2008, was used to calculate inbreeding coefficients and their effects on production traits and subclinical mastitis of dairy farm cows inAzerbaijan province,Iran. Inbreeding was included in a linear mixed model as a class variable. Data were analyzed using the PROC MIXED of SAS by MIVQUE method. Results showed that average inbre...
متن کاملSelective recruitment of T-cell subsets to the udder during staphylococcal and streptococcal mastitis: analysis of lymphocyte subsets and adhesion molecule expression.
During bacterial infection of the bovine mammary gland, large numbers of leukocytes migrate into the udder, resulting in the establishment of a host response against the pathogen. Currently, the specific leukocyte populations mediating this immune response are not well defined. In the studies described here, we analyzed blood and milk from healthy cows and cows with naturally occurring mastitis...
متن کاملThe effect of subclinical mastitis on milk composition in dairy cows
Milk samples were collected from quarters of 35 cows with subclinical mastitis (California mastitis test [CMT] positive and somatic cell counts [SCC] >500,000 cells/ml in individual quarter foremilk), as well as from 37 healthy controls. Compared to the levels observed in milk from healthy quarters, milk from quarters with subclinical mastitis showed elevated sodium (91.97 vs 52.93 mg/dl), chlo...

Background: T-2 mycotoxin belongs to the Trichothecene family and has damaging effects on the immune system. Objective: To investigate the toxic effect of T-2 toxin on the percentage of peripheral blood B lymphocytes and the potential protective role of selenium and vitamin E. Method: Frequencies of B lymphocytes (CD19+ ) were analyzed after injection of sublethal doses of T-2 toxin into Balb/c...
متن کاملCharacterization of lymphocyte subpopulations and major histocompatibility complex haplotypes of mastitis-resistant and susceptible cows.
Bovine mastitis is an infectious disease with a major economic influence on the dairy industry worldwide. Many factors such as environment, pathogen, and host affect susceptibility or resistance of an individual cow to bovine mastitis. Recently, there has been considerable interest in defining genetic and immunological markers that could be used to select for improved disease resistance. In thi...
