Abstract

The initial interaction of pathogen, or antigens derived from it, with the antigen presenting cell (APC) results in the synthesis by the APC of cytokines that influence the subsequent immune response. To analyze the responses of cattle it is necessary to know how an infectious agent and its antigens causes the initial response in the APC, what the response of the APC is and how the T cell response is affected.
