IL6 and infection: More recently, analysis of the transcriptome profile of the bovine mammary epithelial cells in response to infection revealed several genes (e.g., TNF, IL6, IL8, IL10, TP53, TGFB1), gene lists (e.g., IL-10 and IL-6 signaling), and miRNAs (e.g., mir-155, mir-204)9, which are responsible for a wide range of inflammatory and immunological responses10–12.
