Different pathological properties of prions in N2aC24(R1) cells from RML and 22L prions. (a) The percentage of symptom-free mice after the 1st intracerebral inoculation with brain homogenates from N2aC24(R1) cell lysate-inoculated, terminally ill mice, the 2nd intracerebral inoculation with brain homogenates from terminally ill mice firstly inoculated with N2aC24(R1)-infected mouse brain homogenates, and intracerebral inoculation with RML- or 22L-infected mouse brain homogenates. (b) HE staining of the brains of terminally ill mice in (a). Bars, 100 μm. (c) Vacuole counts at different brain areas of terminally ill mice [5 fields in each brain area from each mouse group (n = 3)] in (b). Cx, cerebral cortex; Hp, hippocampus; Th, thalamus; Cb, cerebellum. Error bars, standard deviation.
