title: Suppression of bovine lymphocyte and macrophage functions by sera from road-transported calves.
abstract: Sera from calves which had been transported for 48 h resulted in impaired mitogen-stimulated blastogenesis of bovine lymphocytes and cytochrome c reduction activity of bovine alveolar macrophages. Sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis revealed the appearance of 33 kDa and 20 kDa proteins in most of the sera after transportation. The proteins could have been related to the serum suppression.
