Innate and acquired immune responses in crossbred cattle

2002-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Resistance to infection by pathogenic organisms is critical for survival of livestock under commercial farming conditions. Understanding the complex processes involved in immunity to infection is essential to allow future selection of animals for disease resistance to become an attainable goal in livestock production. The overall aim of this study was to assess various aspects of immune function in a genetically d...
