Vector efficacy was scored semi-quantitatively, based on the frequency and localization of β-gal-labeled hippocampal neurons, as follows: good - infection of many neurons in dentate gyrus and CA3 subfield; poor - sporadic labeling of single cells in dentate gyrus or CA3 subfield; none - no labeling of any neurons. Numbers in parenthesis indicate average age in months (mo) at time of vector infection, and average days post-infection (dpi) at the time of sacrifice and brain fixation (e.g., 3mo/4dpi).
