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

Optimized Multicolour Immunofluorescence Panel for Cattle B Cell Phenotyping by an 8-Colour, 10-Parameter Panel

This paper optimizes an 8-color, 10-parameter immunofluorescence panel to identify five functionally distinct B cell subsets in cattle PBMCs.

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.
