We compared and analyzed expression of the BPI gene Sutai piglets ranging from newborn to post-weaning days 8, 18, 30, 35 by real-time PCR method, in order determine if it is involved protection against disease caused ETEC F18.There was a significant difference between 18-and 35-day jejunum.There were also differences at other development stages duodenum.There no 30 jejunum.We conclude that porcine may be direct factor resistance F18 weaning piglets, related upregulation mRNA certain extent.
