Survival curves of M83 mice after intracerebral inoculations with brain extracts from sick M83 mice or with fibrillar recombinant protein. The proportions of surviving mice following inoculations are shown. A. Second passage performed with 10 mg (red) (n = 5), 2 mg (blue) (n = 8) and 0.4 mg (green) (n = 10) of brain equivalents, in comparison to a first passage performed with 2 mg (purple-dot) (n = 8) of brain equivalents, or 10 μg of fibrillar recombinant αS. B. Second passages performed by stereotactic inoculations with 2 mg brain equivalents from sick M83 mice into the hippocampus (red) (n = 5) or the cerebellum (green) (n = 4), in comparison to a first passage (purple-dot) (n = 8) or a second passage using manual inoculation (blue). C. Second passages with 2 mg of spinal cord (red) (n = 9), cerebral cortex (n = 9) (green) or spleen (dark blue) homogenates, in comparison to a first (purple-dot) (n = 8) or second passage (blue) (n = 8) performed with 2 mg of total brain homogenates.
