The Parasite specifity of cytotoxic T cells from cattle immunized with Buffalo and cattle- derived Theileria parva parasites.
Immunity to East Coast fever, a parasitic disease of cattle, is partially attributable to a cell-mediated immune response directed at cells infected with the schizont stage of the parasite. This response is in the form of cytotoxic T cells which can be measured in vitro after stimulating peripheral...
