Ability of mycobacterial pathogens to establish a persistent infection is lost by deletion of a single gene, rel, regulator of the stringent response

The paper shows deletion of the rel gene in mycobacterial pathogens prevents persistent infection and impairs CD8 T cell responses in cattle, but not the timing or cytokine expression of the response.

Vaccination of cattle with a virus-vectored vaccine against a major membrane protein of Mycobacterium a. subsp. paratuberculosis elicits CD8 cytotoxic T cells that kill intracellular bacteria

Distinct states of nucleolar stress induced by anti-cancer drugs

This study identifies distinct nucleolar stress states induced by various anticancer drugs and characterizes their molecular and morphological effects.

Differential pulmonary immunopathologic response of domestic sheep (Ovis aries) and bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) to Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae infection: a retrospective study

This study compares the immunopathologic pulmonary response of domestic and bighorn sheep to Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae infection, finding significant species differences in immune marker expression.

Cognate epitope recognition by bovine CD4 and CD8 T cells is essential for primary expansion of antigen-specific cytotoxic T-cells following ex vivo stimulation with a candidate Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis peptide vaccine.

The paper shows CD4 and CD8 T-cell cognate recognition is essential for primary CTL expansion in response to a Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis peptide vaccine in cattle.
