Fig 5. CCL28 levels in bovine milk are highest soon after parturition and are not correlated with somatic cell count.
Milk CCL28 levels were determined by ELISA using antibodies generated against human CCL28. No correlation was seen between somatic cell counts and CCL28 protein levels in bovine milk (A). A strong correlation was seen (R2 = 0.35) between higher levels of CCL28 at the beginning of lactation (B). Diamonds represent individual milk samples. X’s represent the average CCL28 level for each time point indicated in the x-axis.
