TL;DR: The role of the neutrophil granulocyte during acute coliform mastitis in cows in the periparturient period is reviewed and quantitative aspects of several neutrophils cell functions before and during experimentally induced infections are briefly discussed.

TL;DR: The severity of experimental Escherichia coli mastitis in relation to in vitro chemotaxis of polymorphonuclear leukocytes was investigated in cows during negative energy balance and it was found that experimental mastitis was negatively related to preinfection chemotactic response.

TL;DR: Results of this study indicated that severity of the experimental mastitis may be predicted by the chemotactic response in vitro of polymorphonuclear leukocytes isolated from the peripheral blood at d 2, d 1, and immediately prior to inoculation.

TL;DR: The relationship between the severity of experimental Escherichia coli mastitis and the chemotactic response of blood polymorphonuclear leukocytes was investigated before and during mastitis, and recovery of the chemotherapy response of white blood cells was more rapid in moderately diseased cows than in severely disease cows.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of the neutrophil granulocyte during acute coliform mastitis in cows in the periparturient period was reviewed, and qualitative and quantitative aspects of several neutrophIL cell functions before and during experimentally induced infections were briefly discussed.
