Graduate Student Literature Review: Standardized approaches for neutrophil functional assessment in dairy cattle: a practical guide

This dataset includes four summary tables supporting the review “Graduate Student Literature Review: Standardized approaches for neutrophil functional assessment in dairy cattle: a practical guide” The tables compile and compare commonly used in vitro assays for evaluating bovine polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) function, including anticoagulant selection for bovine neutrophil assays (Table 1) chemotaxis (Table 2), phagocytosis (Table 3), oxidative burst (Table 4), and neutrophil extracellular trap (NETs) formation (Table 5). For each assay, the tables summarize the detection principle/readout, experimental application, and key advantages and limitations. Curated peer-reviewed references are provided to support methodological choices and promote reproducibility.
