Clinical course before and after gene therapy. Gene therapy started on August 1, 1995 (protocol day 0) with the patient receiving a total of 10 infusions to date. PEG-ADA therapy was initiated at 15 months of age. The lymphocyte count is indicated by a solid line and CD4/CD8 ratio was measured using PBL before infusion. ADA activity shown by a solid bar is expressed as nanomoles of inosine and hypoxanthine produced per minute by 108 cells. Replacement of IVIG after gene therapy is shown as an arrow. The patient received a Ig replacement (2.5 g) monthly before gene therapy.
