Neg, nontreated; Readmin, readministration at 3 months and tissue collection at 4 months; Non-readmin, non-readministered controls 4 months after perinatal gene transfer.

a

Lung sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin and scored to evaluate the degree of lung inflammation after fetal and neonatal rAAV2/5 administration (1.0×1010 GC of rAAV2/5-β-Gal per animal; 1.5×1010 GC of rAAV2/5-fLUC per animal) and readministration at 3 months. Lung sections were scored according to the region as well as the degree of inflammation. Scores: 0, no immune cell infiltration; 0.5, few infiltrating cells with minimal significance; 1, mild lymphocytic infiltrate; 2, moderate lymphocytic infiltrate; 3, severe lymphocytic infiltrate. Data represent means±SD.

b

Non-readministration controls for the fetal and neonatal group 4 months after perinatal rAAV2/5 delivery.

c

Readministration animals for the fetal and neonatal group 1 month after readministration.
