Activity of T- and B-cell immunity in blood of cows and calves under influence of new immunotropic liposomal emulsion

Ponkalo L.I., Vіshchur O.I.

Summary. Results of the research showet that parenteral injection of vitamins A, D3, E, lysine, methionine with zinc acetate or sodium selenite in the form of liposomal emulsion alone, to cows in the last month of pregnancy, lead to the increase of T-lymphocytes (general, theophylline-resistant) and B-lymphocytes’ number in the blood of cows and calves, and increasen functional activity of immunocompetent cells due to redistribution of receptive apparatus of T- and Blymphocytes towards the increase of their avidity.

Key words: immune system, T-and B-lymphocytes, vitamins A, D3, Е, micronutrients, cows, calves.
