Although significantly altered in TBL20‐EV (but not in the top 15 differentially expressed proteins), BOLA‐1 (ranked 83) was also included as a possible target of bta‐miR‐181a and b, due to its role in antigen presentation to CD8+ T cells, a major effector mechanism of protective immunity against theileriosis (Shaw, Tilney, Musoke, & Teale, 1995). The gene discussed is BOLA1; the disease is theileriasis.
