Hepatic mRNA expression of innate and adaptive immune genes in beef steers with divergent residual body weight gain

Hepatic mRNA expression of innate and adaptive immune genes in beef steers with divergent residual body weight gain

Immune function plays a pivotal role in dictating the overall health and productivity of cattle. In a proficient immune system, the liver assumes an integral function in detoxification and metabolic processes and contributes substantially to overall production and immunity. In this study, we evaluat...
