Abstract The maturation and development of T cells were not completed until T cells were selected in thymus. It was not until the early 1960s that j.f.a.p. discovered the importance of thymus in T cell development. Twelve healthy piglets were randomly divided into two groups, the experimental group (LGG group) and the control group (saline group). The LGG group piglets were given 1 ml LGG (6 × 109 CFU/ml) per day. The saline group was given 1 ml of normal saline per day. The piglets were slaughtered at 30 days and 45 days, respectively, and the MLN, jejunum and ileum PPs, LP of the piglets were taken. The expression of CD3+CD4+ T lymphocytes was detected by flow cytometry, and intestinal villi development was observed by intestinal paraffin section. The results showed that the flow cytometry results at 30 days and 45 days showed that the CD3+CD4+ T lymphocytes in the MLN group were significantly different from those in the saline group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01).The CD3+CD4+ T lymphocytes in the jejunum PP of piglets in LGG group were significantly different from those in saline group (P < 0.05). The CD3+CD4+ T lymphocytes in the ileum PP of the LGG group were significantly different from those in the saline group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). CD3+CD4+ T lymphocytes and normal saline in the piglets of the LGG group There was a significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.001, P < 0.05). P < 0.001). HE staining results showed the length of the LGG group ileal villi in piglets at 30 days, 45 days was significantly different from that in normal saline group (P < 0.01, P < 0.01). LGG can also regulate the proliferation of T lymphocytes in the intestine of early weaned piglets at 30 days and 45 days increase the number of CD3+CD4+ T lymphocytes.
