Bovine innate immune phenotyping via a standardized whole blood stimulation assay

Abstract Cattle vary in their susceptibility to infection and immunopathology, but our ability to measure and longitudinally profile immune response variation is limited by the lack of standardized immune phenotyping assays for high-throughput analysis. Here we report longitudinal innate immune resp...
