This study quantifies heme-mediated inhibition of RT-QuIC prion detection and shows that dilution reduces heme levels below inhibitory thresholds.

The paper shows deletion of the rel gene in mycobacterial pathogens prevents persistent infection and impairs CD8 T cell responses in cattle, but not the timing or cytokine expression of the response.

The paper shows CD4 and CD8 T-cell cognate recognition is essential for primary CTL expansion in response to a Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis peptide vaccine in cattle.
