Individual survival times (days) and mean survival times (days ± SD) of hamsters that underwent regional lymphadenectomy of the Ln. popliteus, or sham-operation, four weeks before footpad infection with a high, a low or a very low dose of 263K-scrapie agent. Asterisk indicates animals that did not show onset of scrapie symptoms until the termination of the experiment at 314 dpi.
