Summary of outcomes. (A) Study groups—all immunosuppression treated groups included a steroid taper over a course of 1 month. Animals that were sacrificed due to viral illness and failure to thrive did not demonstrate gross abnormalities on pathologic evaluation. (B) Historical controls previously published (13)
