Mean tissue iduronidase in nontolerant MPS I dogs receiving 0.58 mg/kg i.v. ERT, the current standard of care (A) was compared with that achieved with induction of immune tolerance, increased dose, or both (BD) (expressed as percent change).

Percent change in mean tissue iduronidase levels in tolerant MPS I dogs receiving 0.58 mg/kg i.v. ERT (B), nontolerant MPS I dogs receiving 2 mg/kg i.v. ERT (C), and tolerant MPS I dogs receiving 2 mg/kg i.v. ERT (D). Percent change is measured against mean iduronidase levels in nontolerant MPS I dogs treated with the clinically used 0.58-mg/kg i.v. ERT (A). *P < 0.05, statistically significant versus nontolerant, 0.58 mg/kg/wk.
