Progression of chronic wasting disease in white-tailed deer analyzed by serial biopsy RT-QuIC and immunohistochemistry
Table 1
Complete results for low dose inoculation group.
Results for RT-QuIC, NAPTA RT-QuIC and IHC for 6 months through 30 months are presented. RT-QuIC data are presented as the number of positive replicates over total. RT-QuIC results that were statistically significant by MW-test are in red. IHC results are reported as follicles with positive staining over total follicles. If at least one follicle had positive staining the result was considered positive and is in red. Biopsies with no follicles present are reported as no follicle (NF). Samples for which no remaining homogenate was available for testing are reported as no sample (NS). Cross symbols indicate the animal was deceased at the collection time point. In most cases, after two IHC positive biopsies, no samples were collected from that point forward and indicated as did not collect (DNC).
