David et al: Current status and future direction of fetal gene therapyFigure 1. Upper panel. Representative sections of fetal livers harvested at 72h, 7, 14, 28, 79, 168 days and 1 year after yolk sacinjection of high titre titre EAIV SMART2Z (equine infectious anaemia virus vector expressing the β-galactosidase gene driven by theCMV promoter) lentiviral vector (n=1, 1, 3, 1 and 1, respectively). Uniform hepatocyte staining is observed after 72 h followed by theemergence of clusters of β-galactosidase-stained hepatocytes to day 79. Macroscopic appearance of liver sections (top row, x 10).Microscopic analyses (bottom row, x 400). Age matched noninfected control livers of 3 day old and 1-year-old animals are shown in thelower panel. Lower panel. Representative sections of fetal tissues harvested at 72 h, 7, 14, 79 days and 1 year after yolk sac injection ofhigh titre EAIV SMART2Z lentiviral vector (n…1, 1, 3 and 1, respectively). High-level staining is observed after 72 h and 79 days inbrain, 7, 14 and 79 days in heart and 14 and 79 days in skeletal muscle. Low-level expression is shown in lung and kidney at 79 dayspostinjection. Macroscopic appearance of tissues (left columns, x 10). Microscopic analysis (right column, x 400). (Waddington et al2003).
