Abstract

Flow cytometric analysis of CD4 and CD8 T cells of spleen was done in layer chicken of various age groups ranging from day-old to forty weeks. The mean CD4 and CD8 population was found to be the highest at day one and lowest at twenty weeks of age. However, an increase in both the T cell population was detected at forty weeks. Among the two cell types studied, CD8 cells were always higher than the CD4 cells with significant difference (P<0.05) at day one. A distinct difference was observed in the ratio of CD4 and CD8 cells in the spleen at different age.
