Journal Article
Chen, X., Zhang, S., Cheng, Z. R., Cooke, J. S., Werling, D., Wathes, D. C., & Pollott, G. E. (2017). Polymorphisms in the selectin gene cluster are associated with fertility and survival time in a population of Holstein Friesian cows. PLoS ONE, 12(4), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0175555

Selectins are adhesion molecules, which mediate attachment between leucocytes and endothelium. They aid extravasation of leucocytes from blood into inflamed tissue during the mammary gland’s response to infection. Selectins are also involved in attac...
