Alterations of cellular immune response during intensive training of event horses.
During strenuous exercise of horses that are prepared for international Three-Day-Events a significant decrease in the in vitro killing rate of phagocytosed yeast cells by the blood granulocytes has been observed. Other immunological parameters, such as the phorbolmyristate dependent chemiluminescence in granulocytes and the mitogenic stimulation of blood lymphocytes, remained unchanged.
