Frequencies (%) of CD3+ T-cells in sows and piglets. Farm A: endemically infected M. hyopneumoniae; Farm B: free of M. hyopneumoniae. A Blood of sows; B colostrum; C, D blood of 2-day-old piglets (4 piglets per sow on farm A; 8 piglets per sow on farm B). On farm A, sows (n = 6) were vaccinated against M. hyopneumoniae at 6 and 3 weeks before farrowing and blood samples were taken before the first vaccination (pre vacc.) and at the time of farrowing (post vacc.), on farm B blood was sampled of the sows (n = 3) at the time of farrowing. *, P < 0.05 between pre- and post-vaccination on farm A; **, P < 0.05 between farm A and B.
