	abstract = {The immune system of sheep, cattle and other ruminants contains unusually large numbers of gamma-delta () T lymphocytes. In lambs and calves, these cells may comprise more than 50\% of the T cells circulating in blood while in rodents and primates, they typically account for less than 5\% of blood-borne T cells. The T cells localise within mucosal surfaces of all species, particularly in the gastrointestinal tract. Compared to their rodent and human counterparts, ruminant T cells have a greatly expanded repertoire of antigen receptors (Hein \& Dudler, 1993, 1997). They also express unique accessory molecules in their cell membrane which may reflect a differential capacity of the ruminant T cells to contribute to immune defence (Hein \& Mackay, 1991).},
