Abstract
Brucella abortus is an intracellular pathogen that causes disease in cattle and in humans. The response against B, abortus involves the whole gamut of the immune system, from innate to adaptive immunity resulting from stimula tion of antigen-presenting cells, NK cells, CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells, and B cells.
