¹ The brain homogenate source and concentration used to coat the wires is listed: MD-1: CWD-positive brain homogenate pool made from 6 wild Wyoming mule deer; WTD-1: CWD-positive brain homogenate pool made from 7 white-tailed deer brains. NBH: normal deer brain homogenate, na: not applicable

² The number of RT-QuIC positive wells (see methods for criteria) is shown over the total number of wells tested.

ppm, parts per million; na, not applicable; NBH, normal deer brain homogenate
