FIG. 1.
Detection of PrPSc in mouse brains. Brains of mice inoculated with a healthy brain homogenate (mock infection) or an ME7 or RML inoculum were homogenized on days 30, 60, 90, 120, and 150 postinoculation and then treated (+) or not treated (−) with PK prior to Western blot analysis. Western blots of homogenates from uninfected mouse brains (day 0) are shown in the first two lanes of the top panel (mock infection). The accumulation of PK-resistant PrPSc is indicated with stars.
