Phenotypic heterogeneity of peripheral monocytes in healthy dogs (2017)
Journal Article
Gibbons, N., Goulart, M. R., Chang, Y. M., Efstathiou, K., Purcell, R., Wu, Y., …Garden, O. A. (2017). Phenotypic heterogeneity of peripheral monocytes in healthy dogs. Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology, 190, 26-30. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vetimm.2017.06.007

Monocytes are key cells of the innate immune system. Their phenotypic and functional roles have been investigated in humans, mice and other animals, such as the rat, pig and cow. To date, detailed phenotypic analysis of monocytes has not been underta... Read More about Phenotypic heterogeneity of peripheral monocytes in healthy dogs.

Journal of Dairy Science, 100(8), 6285-6297. https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2016-12326

The acetyl-CoA acyltransferase 2 (ACAA2) gene encodes an enzyme of the thiolase family that is involved in mitochondrial fatty acid elongation and degradation by catalyzing the last step of the respective β-oxidation pathway. The increased energy nee... Read More about Variants in the 3'UTR of the ovine Acetyl-Coenzyme A Acyltransferase 2 gene are associated with dairy traits and exhibit differential allelic expression.
