Characterization of the effector cell that mediates cytotoxicity against Theileria parva (East Coast fever) in immune cattle.
After fractionation and depletion of peripheral blood leukocytes from cattle that were immune to Theileria parva, the effector cells which mediated cytotoxicity against parasitized autologous lymphocytes were considered to be thymusderived lymphocytes.
