Abstract: Polymorphonuclear neutrophil leukocytes (PMN) are the first line of immunity against most pathogens that infect cattle. PMN apoptosis plays a key role in resolution of the inflammatory response in cows. This review focused on the molecular regulation mechanisms, functions and biological significance of apoptosis on immunity of the mammary gland of cows.

Key words: bovine; polymorphonuclear neutrophil leukocytes(PMN); apoptosis; mastitis
