Leukocytes–Second Line of Defense Against Invading Mastitis Pathogens
Open accessAbstract
In mammals, neutrophile polymorphonuclear leukocytes constitute one of the essential body defenses against disease. In a large mammal, such as the dairy cow, billions of neutrophils are mobilized to fight infection. For example, over 50 million neutrophils per milliliter milk are commonly in a mammary quarter inflicted with clinical mastitis. However, in spite of these numerous leukocytes, pathogenic organisms remain viable. Recent evidence indicates that bacteria are not eliminated from a diseased quarter because the phagocytic capacity of the neutrophils is reduced in the mammary gland. The morphology and physiology of the leukocyte is examined in this review in an attempt to explain why the phagocytic capacity of the neutrophil is reduced in the mammary gland of the bovine.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
