The number of inflammatory infiltrates per visual field were scored in HE-stained sections, at least 10 visual fields were evaluated per slide. No infiltrates: −; 1–3 infiltrates: (+); 4–8 infiltrates: +; 9–12 infiltrates: ++; 13–18 infiltrates: +++. aInfiltrates considered to be part of the basal LTβR−/− phenotype were not included in the scoring.
