Expression of the Bovine NK-Lysin Gene Family and Activity against Respiratory Pathogens

Unlike the genomes of many mammals that have a single NK-lysin gene, the cattle genome contains a family of four genes, one of which is expressed preferentially in the lung. In this study, we compared the expression of the four bovine NK-lysin genes in healthy animals to animals challenged with path...
