Abstract γδ T cells constitute a sizeable and non-redundant fraction of the total T cell pool in
all jawed vertebrates, but in contrast to conventional αβ T cells they are not restricted by …

γδ T cells are a functionally heterogeneous population and contribute to many early immune
responses. The majority of their activity is described in humans and mice, but the immune …

Studying the pathogenesis of an infectious disease like colibacillosis requires an
understanding of the responses of target hosts to the organism both as a pathogen and as a …

Natural killer cells in the chicken are mainly confined to the intestine, while only small
frequencies are detectable in spleen, lung and blood. Here, we compared the spontaneous …

Chronic infection of cattle with Leptospira borgpetersenii serovar Hardjo reduces animal
production through reproductive failure and presents a persistent health threat to workers in …

Pathogenic Leptospira has the capacity to infect a broad range of mammalian hosts.
Leptospirosis may appear as an acute, potentially fatal infection in accidental hosts, or …

The γδ T-cell receptor (TCR)-positive lymphocytes are a major circulating lymphocyte
population in cattle, especially in young calves. In contrast, human and mice have low levels …

WC1 proteins are uniquely expressed on γδ T cells and belong to the scavenger receptor
cysteine-rich (SRCR) superfamily. While present in variable, and sometimes high, numbers …

Limited studies have addressed the ability of γδ T cells to become memory populations. We
previously demonstrated that WC1. 1+ γδ T cells from ruminants vaccinated with killed …

Gamma delta (gd) T cells have been identified in all vertebrate species examined thus far. 1
Since they were first identified, a considerable effort has been made to understand their …
