Survival times and attack rates of bank voles after inoculation with brains from P75-7 and P90-4 and comparison with other isolates
| Inoculum | Survival time (attack rate) on primary transmission | Survival time (attack rate) on second passage | Survival time (attack rate) on third passage |
|---|---|---|---|
| P75-7 | 627 ± 72 (7/12) | 18K 144 ± 7 (7/7) | 18K 122 ± 5 (10/10) |
| 17K 145 ± 7 (14/14) | 17K 111 ± 15 (6/6) | ||
| P90-4 | 382 ± 159 (11/15) | 100 ± 5 (8/8) | 95 ± 5 (7/7) |
| CH1641 | 18K 147 ± 11 (8/8) | 18K 139 ± 9 (13/13) | |
| 17K 112 ± 8 (10/10) | 17K 119 ± 6 (10/10) | ||
| SCR6 | 197 ± 19 (18/18) [12] | 98 ± 4 (11/11) [12] | 94 ± 5 (11/11) |
| SS-UK6 | 175 ± 18 (22/22) [12] | 96 ± 4 (11/11) [12] | 85 ± 4 (8/8) |
Survival times are expressed in days post inoculation with standard error of the mean.
K denotes the molecular masses (in kDa) of the unglycosylated PrPres band determined by WB.
