GML-GM24.4 ± 0.7
GML-SM17.2 ± 0.7

The lesions are scored as follows: (petechial lesions) = 1, (erosions <1 mm) = 2, (erosions between 1 and 2 mm) = 3, (erosions between 2 and 4 mm) = 4, and (erosions greater than 4 mm) = 5. The partial scores were then summed to obtain the final total lesion score for that rat. indicates statistical significance relative to control group; △ indicates statistical significance relative to GML group; ▲ indicates statistical significance relative to GML-GM group with respect to -test.
