Abstract: The research is to study the apoptosis of pigs induced by porcine circovirus type 2??like agent P1. Theapoptosis was detected by TUNEL assay in immune organ samples( tonsil, spleen, superficial inguinal lymph node) of pigsinfected by P1 molecular clone.The results showed that the apoptosis??specific signal was detected in immune organ sam??ples( tonsil, spleen, superficial inguinal lymph node) at 21 and 35 d after P1 infection.The result suggests that P1 appearsto be related to immunosuppression resulted in apoptosis of lymphocyte.

Key words: Porcine circovirus type 2, P1, Apoptosis, TUNEL
