Effect of prenatal SEB exposure on CD4/CD8 T cells in the spleens of offspring rats. The spleens of the neonatal rats between days 0 and 5 after delivery and the adult offspring rats were harvested in the PBS and SEB groups. The percentages of both CD4 and CD8 T cells in the spleens of the neonatal rats (a, b) and the adult offspring rats (c, d) were analyzed by flow cytometry. Values were calculated with data from 12 independent experiments [In each group, 72 of neonatal offspring rats and 24 of adult offspring rats (half male and half female) were used.]. Each experiment of the neonatal rats included 1–2 neonatal rats of the same litter from same mother. Data represent mean ± SE. Compared with the PBS group at each time point: # P < 0.05; * P < 0.01
