The endocrine physiology of vitamin D in cattle has been rigorously investigated and has
yielded information on vitamin D requirements, endocrine function in health and disease …

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 …

WC1 molecules are transmembrane glycoproteins belonging to the scavenger receptor
cysteine-rich family and uniquely expressed on γδ T cells. Although participation of WC1+ γδ …

Regulatory T cells (Treg) are regarded essential components for maintenance of immune
homeostasis. Especially CD4+ CD25high T cells are considered to be important regulators …

Goats and cattle diverged 30 million years ago but retain similarities in immune system
genes. Here, the caprine T cell receptor (TCR) gene loci and transcription of its genes were …

The Vγ6/Vδ1+ cells, the second murine γδ T cell subset to arise in the thymus, express a
nearly invariant T cell receptor (TCR), colonize select tissues, and expand preferentially in …

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

We demonstrated earlier that immunization with recombinant Leptospira immunoglobulin
like protein A (LigA) induced significant protection against virulent Leptospira interrogans …

Leptospira serovar Hardjo are bacterial pathogens of cattle that cause zoonotic infections of
humans. Monovalent serovar Hardjo vaccines protect cattle from serovar Hardjo while …

Innate and adaptive immune responses induced by leptospirosis have not been well
characterized. In this study we show that in vitro exposure of naive human PBMC to …
