ABSTRACT
Our recent study has provided that the in vitro SEC-induced proliferation of bovine T cells is preceded by a period of a non-proliferative immunoregulation of T cells that may be associated with cytokine production regulated by type 1 or type 2 T cells. Inversion of CD4+CD8+ T cell ratio and induction of CD8+T cells with immunoregulatory activity could increase the probability of intracellular survival of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). The increase of activated CD8+(ACT2+ BoCD8+) T cells in cows with mastitis caused by S. aureus may be associated with immune-regulatory function in the bovine mammary gland. The difference and similarity between bovine activated CD8+ T cells (CD8+ CD26+)and well-established human CD4+ CD25+ T regulatory (Tr)cells may help to reveal their unique immune regulatory system in the host infected with S. aureus.
