Figure 3

Fluorescence traces from individual wells (n = 4 per sample) of RT-QuIC reactions seeded with homogenates of ear punches collected from different regions of pinna apex (above the dashed line in Fig. 2). The RT-QuIC reactions (without IOME extraction, − IOME) were seeded with 10–2 dilution of ear homogenate in 0.1% SDS/PBS/N2. For the IOME-RT-QuIC reactions, a 1:10 dilution of iron oxide magnetic beads in 0.1% SDS/PBS/N2 was prepared, and the reactions were seeded with ear tissue equivalents comparable to the 10–2 dilution used in the reactions without IOME. ‘Weak positive’ and ‘strong positive’ labels refer to the ELISA positivity of RLN tissue from the same deer.
