Between-cow variation in dermal fibroblast response to lipopolysaccharide reflected in resolution of inflammation during Escherichia coli mastitis.

Abstract excerpt

Effective response to mammary gland infection depends on efficient early innate immune response. The desired response would be one that is sufficient to clear the infection with a rapid return to the production of high-quality milk and limited tissue damage. In this study, 43 early lactation cows were ranked based on the ability of their fibroblasts to produce IL-8 in response to Escherichia coli...
