p<0.05 (x2 test) when compared to any of the FoxL2 results and to LS2 on P10 and FVB/N genetic backgrounds.
These data are a compilation of at least 2 independent experiments. No statistically significant variability was observed between the analyzed litters (3 for P10, more than 4 for the other lentiviral infections).
