If we look at the SCC and proinflammatory cytokines as indicators of early inflammation such as TNF-α, they reach a peak in 1 to 12 h followed by a gradual drop [51], suggesting our findings of inflammatory and regulatory markers on day 4 to 6 in the milk of subclinical and clinical mastitis correspond to the resolution of initial inflammation. The gene discussed is TNF; the disease is mastitis.
