Eight weeks after plasmid injection, mice were treated with 40 μg of anti-CD3 for 5 consecutive days. FVIII activities and anti-FVIII inhibitors were monitored before and after anti-CD3 treatment as described in “Gene transfer of FVII into hemophilia A mice with immunomodulation regimen by anti-CD3 antibodies.”
Died indicates that the mouse is deceased.
A 5-day course of anti-CD3 treatment was administered 8 weeks after FVIII plasmid injection treatment.
