Table 3. Incubation time in animals infected with diverse blood preparations.

Each group represents the data of three replicates that were combined to obtain the average ± standard error. The experiment was terminated at 350 days after inoculation. Attack rate represent the percentage of animals developing characteristic prion clinical signs.

Group	Attack rate (%)	Incubation time - days (Mean ± st. error)
Non-spiked blood	0/15 (0%)	-
Spiked whole blood	13/13 (100%)	99.7 ± 1.84
Spiked RBC washed	6/15 (40%)	135.8 ± 6.67
