  • BOVINE MONOCYTE-DERIVED MACROPHAGE IN CULTURE SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR MEASURING INNATE IMMUNITY
    Publication number: 20220251511
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an in vitro method of generating bovine monocyte-derived macrophages from monocytes that produce nitric oxide and use as an indicator of innate immune response potential. The culture system includes culturing bovine monocytes in serum-free media supplemented with granulocyte-macrophage stimulating factor (GM-CSF) to generate monocyte-derived macrophages that produce nitric oxide.

  • Method of identifying high immune response animals
    Patent number: 7258858
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and use of a method of identifying high immune response animals under stress. The animals are identified by a ranking procedure that classifies the animal's immune response to an antigen over a period of time that spans the stress.

  • Methods for selecting and producing animals having a predicted level of immune response, disease resistance or susceptibility, and/or productivity
    Publication number: 20040235061
    Abstract: The invention relates to methods for selecting animals having a predicted level of immune response, disease resistance or susceptibility, and/or productivity based on an Estimated Breeding Value (EBV) of the animal's immune responsiveness, methods for producing groups of animals having a predicted level of immune response, disease resistance or susceptibility, and/or a predicted productivity based on the EBV; and methods of using such animals.
