Incidence represents the fraction of animals with observable lesions at any given time post-DFP injection; severity, the average lesion severity score of animals with lesions at any given time point presented as the mean ± SD (animals without lesions were not included in the calculation of the average lesion severity score). N/A, no animals presented with lesions at any given time point; (n=1), data represents score from a single animal;

*

Includes only animals in Group 1;

**

, only animals in Group 2;

***

Combined data from Group 1 and Group 2.
