Conditions were established to obtain depletion of T lymphocyte subsets in lymphoid tissues of calves by injection of mouse monoclonal antibodies to T cell antigens. Adverse reactions were avoided by injecting small quantities of antibody until target cells had disappeared from blood. Two differe...

Natural resistance to African trypanosomiasis in certain Bos taurus cattle in West Africa, called trypanotolerance, may hold solutions for control of this economically crippling disease. Comparison of immune responses between trypanotolerant and trypanosusceptible cattle have shown some differen...

Murine models have suggested that CD8 T cells might play a major parasite-promoting role in African trypanosomiasis. To assess the role of these cells in a natural host environment, we have depleted CD8 cells from Boran cattle in vivo and subsequently infected these animals with Trypanosoma congo...

The membrane-associated form of the variable surface glycoprotein (mfVSG) from African trypanosomes is a potent macrophage activator capable of inducing production of tumor necrosis factor z (TNFalfa) in both bovine and murine models. Using a bovine model. we have re-investigated the hypothesis t...

Bovine bone marrow-derived macrophages were infected in vitro with non-cytopathic or cytopathic strains of bovine viral diarrhoea virus. Infection with both biotypes resulted in a decreased production of tumour necrosis factor alpha upon stimulation with heat-inactivated Salmonella dublin or lipo...
