Although rabbits represent an important animal model, little is known about the lymphoid organ development in this species. In the present study, lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood, spleen, mesenteric and popliteal lymph nodes in newborn and 2-, 4-, 6- and 8-week old and adult were characterized. Lymphocyte subsets were detected using flow cytometry and monoclonal antibodies against rabbit CD4, CD8, T-cell-specific antigen and cross-reactive antibody against B-cell antigen CD79alpha. In neonates, lower numbers of T cells were detected in both peripheral blood and spleen than in mesenteric lymph nodes. In comparison with other compartments, CD79alpha(+) cells prevailed in the spleen. Post-natal development was characterized by a decreased CD4(+)/CD8(+) ratio due to increasing frequency of CD8(+) lymphocytes in all organs but mesenteric lymph nodes, where it was due to decreased numbers of CD4(+) lymphocytes. Another significant feature was the increase of B cells in peripheral blood and mesenteric lymph nodes.
