Neospora caninum-Infected Cattle Develop Parasite-Specific CD4+Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes
21 May 2003
Abstract excerpt
Cattle infected with Neospora caninum readily experience transplacental parasite transmission, presumably after maternal parasitemia, leading to abortion or birth of congenitally infected calves. Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) are important mediators of protective immunity against Toxoplasma gondii, an intracellular apicomplexan protozoan closely related to N. caninum. In this study, N. caninum-specific CTL...
