Background: We have analyzed by electron microscopy, immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry the development of chicken caecal tonsil, the largest lymphoid organ of avian gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT). Methods: White Leghorn chickens of different ages obtained from a local supplier were rou
