Özet

The immune system of an organism is the most important defense system against harmful pathogens and this system is tightly regulated by the timely expression of several genes. Interleukin-8 (IL-8) is a chemoattractant cytokine produced by a variety of tissue and blood cells. It has a distinct target specificity for the neutrophil cells. IL-8 attracts and activates neutrophils in inflammatory regions. The aim of present study was to investigate the dynamics of expression of IL-8 in response to LPS and LTA in different time points which could later be used to select sheep against respiratory diseases effectively (Janette and Etheresia, 2016)
