Rapid accumulation of polymorphonuclear neutrophils in the Corpus luteum during prostaglandin F(2α)-induced luteolysis in the cow.

Prostaglandin F(2α) (PGF(2α)) induces luteolysis within a few days in cows, and immune cells increase in number in the regressing corpus luteum (CL), implying that luteolysis is an inflammatory-like immune response. We investigated the rapid change in polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) numbers in re...
