TABLE 2.
Recipient mice | PrP expression (fold)a | No. of diseased mice/total | Incubation time (days)b | Survival time (days)c | P valued |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Prnp+/0 | 0.5 | 13/13 | 274 ± 6 | 290 ± 10 | <0.0001 |
Tg(PrPΔOR-3608)/Prnp0/0 | 0.5 | 12/12 | 335 ± 26 | 343 ± 27 |
Expression levels were compared to those of PrPC in WT mice using Western blotting (Fig. 1B).
Time to onset of disease (average ± SD).
Time to terminal stage of disease (average ± SD).
The P value indicates the significance of comparison of incubation and survival times between Tg(PrPΔOR)/Prnp0/0 and Prnp+/0 mice by log rank (Mantel-Cox) test.
