All animals have undetectable serum enzyme at baseline (6 weeks prior to treatment); enzyme activities approach 50% of normal two weeks following treatment but decline afterwards, eventually returning to baseline at 52 weeks. Wild-type animal serum IDUA enzyme is units/mL. Data were generated from at least three independent experiments and shown as . n.m.: not measured.
