Experimental groups included initially about 12 mice but some sudden treatment-related fatalities occurred, especially after IV injection of virus or control Opti-MEM. The number of fatalities was highest in group 3, in which each animal received multiple rounds of treatment.

**

Other adverse symptoms included ascites, labored breathing, a hunched posture and body tremors.

Some mice were not available for necropsy.

Enlarged spleen is defined as > 175% of the weight of age-matched normal SCID mice.
