- 13 January 1995
Somatic hypermutation of light chain V genes during development of B cells in sheep ileal Peyer's patches was studied in three experimental conditions: in sterile fragments of the ileum surgically… Expand
Effect of Molecular Weight on the Lymphatic Absorption of Water-Soluble Compounds Following Subcutaneous Administration

The lymphatic absorption of four water-soluble compounds with different molecular weights (MW) was determined by measuring their cumulative recovery in lymph draining from the site of s.c.… Expand
Prominence of γδ T cells in the ruminant immune system
Abstract The lymphoid systems of sheep and cattle contain a large number of γδ T cells, in striking contrast to the lymphoid systems of humans and mice. In neonatal animals particularly, these cells… Expand
Prominence of gamma delta T cells in the ruminant immune system.
The lymphoid systems of sheep and cattle contain a large number of gamma delta T cells, in striking contrast to the lymphoid systems of humans and mice. In neonatal animals particularly, these cells… Expand
Divergent evolution of T cell repertoires: extensive diversity and developmentally regulated expression of the sheep gamma delta T cell receptor.
Sheep gamma delta T cells express an unprecedented repertoire of antigen receptors contributed by increased diversity in both variable and constant region gene segments. Variable region diversity… Expand

A large proportion of bovine T cells express the γδ T cell receptor and show a distinct tissue distribution and surface phenotype
: The numbers, phenotype, and tissue distribution of gamma delta T cells in cattle were studied using two monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) which react with the bovine gamma delta T cell receptor (TCR).… Expand

ABSTRACT Cytokine gene expression in cells migrating in afferent and efferent intestinal lymph was monitored for extended time periods in individual sheep experimentally infected with the nematode… Expand
Tissue‐specific migration pathways by phenotypically distinct subpopulations of memory T cells

- 1 April 1992
A proportion of T cells recirculate in a tissue‐selective manner. Recent studies which showed that the skin‐tropic subset of T cells was of memory/activated type, led us to examine whether the… Expand
Identification and characterisation of an aspartyl protease inhibitor homologue as a major allergen of Trichostrongylus colubriformis.

- Biology, Medicine
- International journal for parasitology
- 30 September 2003
Allergens were identified from the gastrointestinal nematode of sheep, Trichostrongylus colubriformis, by probing Western blots of infective larvae (third stage) somatic antigen with IgE purified… Expand
