Immunoreactivity and morphological changes of bursal follicles in chickens infected with vaccine or wild-type strains of the infectious bursal disease virus

Naoyuki AIHARA et al. (pp. 913-918)
Histological and immunofluorescent appearance of the small follicle observed in an IBD virus vaccine strain-administered chicken. Almost all lymphocytes were depleted in the small follicle area (A), but the BM-associated epithelium was retained (B). The small follicle lacked a cortical area, and the BM and BM-associated epithelium lined the outer boundary (C and D).
