Figure 5. Antigen specific proliferation by mononuclear cells isolated from piglets before and after colostrum ingestion and from sow colostrum.

Figure 5

Mononucelar cells from sow colostrum (CMC; n=10) and from piglet blood (PBMC; n=20) before (PS) and after (AS) colostrum ingestion were stimulated with Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae antigen. Proliferation was assessed by flow cytometry. Antigen specific proliferation was compared between colostrum of vaccinated and unvaccinated sows and piglets receiving colostrum from vaccinated and unvaccinated sows. Variation is expressed as standard error; samples with different letters indicate significance at p<0.05.
