title: Flow cytometry analysis of milk and peripheral blood cells from goats during lactation.
abstract: Cells from goat's milk and peripheral blood taken during the lactation period were analysed by flow cytometry. The investigated cells were populations of leucocytes, lymphocyte subpopulations (T, T-helper, T-cytotoxic, B, WC1-N2) and all MHC class II positive cells. Labelling of cells was performed on whole blood and milk cell suspensions. Statistically significant differences were found between percentages of B and WC1-N2 lymphocytes and MHC II positive cells from peripheral blood during the lactation period and all of examined milk cells during the same time.
