The lymphoid tissues histologically evaluated included spleen, lymph nodes (at least three per animal; lymph nodes without granulomas were studied to establish cellular depletion in the cases with tuberculosis), MALT (respiratory and intestinal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue) and thymus (three samples of animals aged 16, 17 months and 2 years old). This is a descriptive study in which reductions of immune cells were found by histopathology (H&E) and immunohistochemistry in peripheral lymphoid tissues of 15 Iberian lynxes. The results of our study indicate that all animals presented some degree of immune depletion, affecting both B and T cells, which could only be explained in a few cases by old age and/or concomitant diseases (tuberculosis, tumors).	./cache/cord-320385-myiuhxdb.txt	./txt/cord-320385-myiuhxdb.txt
