Abstract
The study was conducted on 117 pig fetuses coming from different stages of pregnancy. Morphological analysis proved that most irregular shape took the left tracheobronchial lymph nodes. It has been found an increase of lymph nodes number in the lymph centers, which is partly related to the phenomenon of lymph nodes ‘separation’. Microscopic and immunohistochemical examination allowed to trace the gradual formation of the histological structures and confirmed the presence of T and B lymphocytes since the 60th day of pregnancy, wherein the number of T cells increased between 82nd and 103th day of gestation.
