Popis: Cytometric analysis of cells in milk from healthy goats was achieved after elimination of interfering signals from debris and dead cells by irreversible staining with ethidium monoazide. Some 61% of milk lymphocytes are CD8+ T cells, 17% are CD4+ and about 20% of these express class II antigens: less than 4% are B cells. Compared with blood, the CD4/CD8 ratio was inverted and fewer lymphocytes expressed CD4SR or L-selectin. Monoclonal antibodies to ovine integrins recognised the caprine alpha 4 chain on most lymphocytes from milk or blood, while beta 1 was more frequent on milk cells.
