Oxidative Stress and Apoptotic Changes in Broiler Chicken Splenocytes Exposed to T-2 Toxin

Table 2

Effects of T-2 toxin exposure on antigen expression of splenic T-cell subsets in broiler chickens. Data are expressed as mean ± sd (n = 6).

T-cell subsets	0 mg/kg	0.5 mg/kg	1 mg/kg	2 mg/kg
CD4+	10.76 ± 0.22^a	10.21 ± 0.27^a	9.76 ± 0.18^b	8.29 ± 0.33^c
CD8+	9.12 ± 0.12^a	9.01 ± 0.23^a	9.84 ± 0.28^b	10.26 ± 0.17^c
CD4+/CD8+	1.18 ± 0.09^a	1.13 ± 0.17^a	0.98 ± 0.08^b	0.81 ± 0.11^c
