Abstract excerpt
Recent research in our lab has demonstrated a significant association between the incidence of subclinical mastitis and specific polymorphisms of the CXCR2 gene in Holstein dairy cows. This gene encodes a receptor for interleukin-8 (IL-8), a key regulator of neutrophil migration, killing and survival. Because of the importance of this gene in neutrophil function, we hypothesized that differences in neutrophil...
