  1. a - Vessels were defined as described in the Methods section.
  2. b - N = number of PrP-res-positive vessels of each type detected in the total area counted. Total area counted was 7.5 mm2 . Data are from 4 individual mice, which were analyzed between 250–280 days post-infection with RML scrapie as described in the Methods.
