Abstract excerpt
Natural killer (NK) cells were recently shown to play an important immunomodulatory role in lymph nodes. We here report the presence, phenotype and function of NK cells resident in lymph nodes of several anatomical sites of healthy calves. NKp46+/CD3-lymphocytes, recently demonstrated to precisely identify NK cells in all tested species, were present in the paracortex and the medulla of bovine lymph nodes. Most...
