Figure 5.
Western blot comparing multiple ruminant TSEs including L-BSE, scrapie, bovine TME (bTME), and ovine passaged bTME (o-bTME). The blot was immunolabeled with Sha31 anti-PrP antibody after acetone precipitation. The characteristics of bTME in sheep are similar to 3rd passage bTME in cattle that resembles L-BSE. Scrapie has a distinct migration pattern.
