aThe number of RT-QuIC mice with results significantly different than uninfected controls is shown over the total number of mice screened from the group.
bThe number of mice positive for neuropathology including abnormal prion protein accumulation, spongiform degeneration and astrogliosis over the number tested.
cThe number of mice that were positive for PrPres in brain by immunoblot over the number tested.
