PG - 257-62 AB - We used an immunohistochemical method to investigate changes in macrophage and lymphocyte subpopulations in various lymphoid tissues of pigs in the acute phase of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) infection. The numbers of CD8+ cells and B-cells varied among lymphoid tissues after PRRSV infection. In the infected pigs, numbers of CD8+ cells increased in systemic lymphoid tissues whereas numbers of B-cells increased in mucosa-associated lymphoid tissues. There was no difference in the distribution of virus-infected cells and macrophages between lymphoid tissues of the infected pigs. These changes may be associated with the establishment of virus persistence or the emergence of concurrent infection in mucosal organs.
