Fig. 4 — The relative amount of PrP^Sc in the brainstem (obex) is strongly associated with incubation period. The amount of PrP^Sc in the brain was calculated using optical density readings from an antigen-capture enzyme immunoassay (EIA). The relative amount of PrP^Sc in the brain of the elk with the lowest EIA result in the linear range was designated a baseline value of 1.0. Results for other elk are expressed as a ratio relative to the baseline elk. Frozen obex was not available for elk #2 (MM132) so this animal is not included in the figure
