The proliferative responses to stimulation with phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) in cultures of lymphocytes from newly calved and non-pregnant cattle were compared. Lymphocyte cultures from newly calved cows were seen to respond less to PHA than cultures from the non-pregnant cows. It is suggested that this depression in responsiveness of lymphocytes in the immediate post-parturient period may be involved in the etiology of disease in cattle during the immediate post-parturient period.
比较了初产牛和未孕牛淋巴细胞培养物对植物血凝素(PHA)刺激的增殖反应。结果发现,初产母牛的淋巴细胞培养物对PHA的反应比未孕母牛的培养物要弱。有人提出,产后即刻淋巴细胞反应性的这种降低可能与牛产后即刻疾病的病因有关。
