Abstract excerpt
Progress in understanding the background of structural luteolysis depends on insights into the physiological function of innate immunity (INIM), in particular the presence of dendritic cells (DCs) in the corpus luteum (CL). For this reason, the cultures of five endothelial cell-like phenotypes derived from the bovine CL and their long-lasting analysis (morphology, function, and origin) become important. Types 1...
