immune system
• intestinal and vaginal intraepithelial lymphocyte numbers were reduced; the impact upon intestinal IEL numbers was greater at 3-4 wk of life than in younger animals
|
• the TCR beta+ CD8+ T cells were more affected than the TCR beta+ CD4+CD8- population
• lamina propria T lymphocyte numbers were diminished
