In the experiments, there were used LPS and MDP at the specified concentrations (5 and 500 μg, respectively). The inflammatory response was analyzed at selected time points (24, 48, 72 and 168 h) following stimulation of the mammary glands. As a control, the same volumes of physiological solution was used. The mammary gland lavages were collected from the 8 clinically healthy virgin Holsteinx Czech Pied heifers and the concentrations of the cytokines were analyzedby an ELISA method. ER -
