SUMMARY A colorimetric microtitration assay was adapted to quantify the cytotoxicity of Pasteurella haemolytica A1 leukotoxin to bovine neutrophils used as target cells. The viability of leukotoxin-treated target cells was detected by use of a tetrazolium dye that living cells reduced to dark blue formazan. The amount of formazan formed (which was quantified by use of an elisa plate reader) was directly proportional to the number of viable target cells. This assay system also was used to measure leu-kotoxin-neutralization antibody titers of bovine serum and lung lavage specimens obtained durin

We measured TBARS, ROS and mitochondrial membrane potential in kidney as markers of oxidative stress, and activities of the antioxidant enzymes. Relative cell viability was determined by trypan blue dye-exclusion assay. Annexin V-PE was used with a vital dye, 7-AAD, to di
