This is a rapid protocol to test the effects of drugs treatment on bovine cell replication using Ki67 staining. Ki67 is associated with cell proliferation and is present during all active phases of the cell cycle (G1, S, G2, and mitosis), but is absent from resting cells (G0).
Bovine cells (The TBL3 cell line was derived from in vitro infection of the spontaneous bovine-B lymphosarcoma cell line, BL3, with Hissar stock of T. annulata)
