Between 1600 and 3069 lymphoid follicles from head LNs, tonsils, pre-scapular and femoral LNs, Peyer's patches, mesenteric LN, gut LNs and rectum were evaluated in each deer for the presence of CWD by IHC. Percentage of total follicles IHC-positive for CWD ranged between 0->70%, depending on genotype. (*Control mock-infected deer).
