Development of an advanced flow cytometry based high-resolution immunophenotyping method to benchmark early immune response in dairy cows
Abstract The determination of the somatic cell count of a milk sample is one of the most common methods to monitor udder health of a dairy cow. However, this procedure does not take into account the fact that cells in milk present a great variety of different cell types. The objective of our study w...
