Effect of polyoxyethylene and polyoxypropylene nonionic block copolymers on performance and recruitment of immune cell subsets in weaned pigs

Table 8 Difference in proportion of CD8⁺T cells in the peripheral blood of weaned pigs treated at Day 0 with POE-POP after 5 weeks of the experiment

Treatment^a	% of CD8⁺cells in the peripheral blood (Mean values)^b/day of the experiment
	0	7	14	21	28	35
Saline	11.06	11.14	11.73	12.10	12.27	12.34
POE-POP	9.98	10.45	11.95	13.22	14.48	14.44
Difference (POE-POP vs. Saline)	- 1.08*	- 0.69	0.22	1.12**	2.21*	2.10**

^aSingle p.o. application of 10 ml of either saline or POE-POP at Day 0; groups comprised 7 pigs each. ^bValues differ significantly at *p < 0.01 or **p < 0.05; unmarked differences were not significant.
