Bovine Mammary Glands Use Leaky Basolaterial Cell Boarder to Accommodate Essential IgG1 Transportation During Colostrogenesis

by Jacqueline Kay O'Donnell

Colostrum is a thick form of milk that bovine produce prior to parturition , which contains high concentration of IgG. E-Cadherin is a adhesive junction between the epithelial cells in the mammary gland. In this study we used IHC to analyze changes of E-Cadherin during the colostrogenesis. The results showed that the junctions became leaky to facilitate the transportation of colostrum.
