Expression profile of the CSF3 and LPO genes in milk from buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) with and without mastitis.

This study compared the expression profile of the candidate genes, CSF3 and LPO, by investigating the immune response mechanisms involved in the phenotype of resistance and susceptibility to mastitis of healthy and infected buffaloes. The Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor 3 (CSF3) and Lactoperoxidase (LPO) genes expression profiles were determined in 24 milk samples from buffaloes with (N = 12) and without (N = 12) mastitis, using the quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) technique. CSF3 and LPO expressions were 5.
