Abstract Parasite-resistant St. Croix sheep generate a potent neutrophilic response to larval stages of Haemonchus contortus. Protective neutrophil responses can be best characterized by increased infiltration the abomasum within first 3 days infection. These data indicate breed differences in chemotaxis and H. contortus The purpose this study was determine third-stage (L3) antigen (HcLA). Suff...

Neutrophils are important innate immune cells involved in microbial clearance at the sites of infection. However, their role in cancer development is unclear. We hypothesized that neutrophils mediate antitumor effects in early tumorigenesis. To test this, we first studied the cytotoxic effects of neutrophils in vitro. Neutrophils were cytotoxic against tumor cells, with neutrophils isolated fro...
