IMMUNOSTIMULATORY EFFECT OF DIETARY OREGANO ETHERIC OILS ON GROWING PIGS' LYMPHOCYTES
B.M.K. Park and G. Bilkei

Abstract
The present study was designed to evaluate the possible effect of dietary oregano etheric oils as non-specific immuno-stimulating agents in growing pigs. Monoclonal antibodies specifically reactive with porcine leukocyte differentiation antigens were used with flow cytometry to determine the proportions of leukocyte sub-populations. Two-colour fluorescence flow cytometry was used, with monoclonal antibodies of different isotypes that reacted with lymphocytes from peripheral blood and lymphoid tissues from pigs fed with oregano etheric oils supplemented diet.
