The morphological features of blood and milk neutrophils from peak lactating goats were
compared using light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and flow cytometry in order …

Objective—To examine apoptosis in infiltrated neutrophils during involution of mammary
glands and compare them with those obtained during late and peak lactation, and to …

Observations on the production, distribution, structure, and function of neutrophils is briefly
reviewed and related to the role of neutrophils in inflammation of the bovine mammary …

The function of neutrophils within the mammary gland was modeled in vitro to include
diapedesis and phagocytosis. The bovine mammary cell line, MAC-T3, provided a mammary …

Procedures were developed to count neutrophils in milk, using a flow cytometer. Milk
samples from 2 experiments were counted: 1 with 4 noninfected cows and a second with 5 …

Neutrophil functions were examined in healthy periparturient dairy cows (n= 46) and in cows
with retained placenta and metritis complex (n= 20); metritis (n= 18); or mastitis (n= 13) …

Migration of polymorphonuclear neutrophil leukocytes (PMN) into the mammary gland
provide the first line of defense against invading mastitis pathogens. Bacteria release potent …

Neutrophils were isolated from the blood and mammary gland of 3 multiparous lactating
cows and 3 nulliparous heifers. Neutrophil function was evaluated by phagocytosis and …

In mammals, neutrophile polymorphonuclear leukocytes constitute one of the essential body
defenses against disease. In a large mammal, such as the dairy cow, billions of neutrophils …

Bovine subclinical mastitis can be defined as a moderated inflammatory disease
characterized by a persistent accumulation of neutrophils in milk. As GMCSF-mediated …
