  • Title: Antibody-containing cells and specialised epithelial cells in the bovine teat.
    Author: Collins RA, Parsons KR, Bland AP.
    Journal: Res Vet Sci; 1986 Jul; 41(1):50-5. PubMed ID: 3764101.
    Abstract:
    Tissue from the ends of teats of dry, periparturient and lactating cows were studied using light and electron microscopy. Accumulations of infiltrating leucocytes mainly in the folds of the distal rosette of the teat cistern (Furstenberg's rosette) were detected; plasma cells predominated. The latter were classified by the type of immunoglobulin (Ig) which they synthesised. Plasma cells synthesising IgG1 were found to be the major antibody producing cell type of the teat. Neither the number of stromal plasma cells present nor the class of Ig which they synthesised was significantly altered by changes in mammary gland secretory activity. Scanning electron microscopy revealed areas of epithelium of Furstenberg's rosette that contained cells differing in surface characteristics from epithelial cells of adjacent areas of the teat cistern.
