Core Tip The rat is born with an immature gut and is thus a suitable model to study gut development. Enteral provocation with phytohaemagglutinin or protease induces precocious gut maturation in conventional (euthymic) rats. It has been suggested that T-lymphocytes are required for gut digestive maturation. The current study showed that precocious gut maturation could be induced by enteral provocation in athymic nude rats similar to that which occurs in euthymic rats. The few intestinal mucosal CD3+-T-cells that were observed in the athymic nude rats appeared to be unaffected by enteral provocation. The intestinal absorptive capacity in nude pups was enhanced when nurtured by conventional (immunocompetent) foster dams.
