Effects of adenovirus-mediated gene transfer (AdT
-ExR) on histological changes. Mice were injected once intraperitoneally with either AdLacZ (a, c, e, and g) or AdT-ExR (b, d, f, and h), or with saline (not shown), and then treated with cerulein for 3 weeks. Pancreatic sections were histologically examined by Azan staining (a and b) or by immunostaining with antibodies against 
-SMA (c and d), collagen type I (e and f), or fibronectin (g and h). In mice treated with AdT-ExR, -SMA-positive cells, collagen type I, and fibronectin ware clearly reduced compared with those in AdLacZ-treated mice. Original magnification,
