The clinically healthy cattle generally showed lower gene expression levels. Although wide variations of gene expression were found in some clinical cases of EBL, 4 and 5 among 10 EBL cattle showed higher expression of interleukin 2 receptor gene (IL2R) and Wilms’ tumor gene (WT1), respectively. Expression of IL2R in peripheral blood cells in EBL cattle was statistically increased; however, the lower sensitivity and higher variation in the gene expressions among clinical cases of EBL would be problems as diagnostic biomarkers.}, pages = {1213--1217}, title = {Evaluation of Gene Expression in Peripheral Blood Cells as a Potential Biomarker for Enzootic Bovine Leukosis}, volume = {75}, year = {2013} }
