  1. abbreviations: PBMCs = peripheral blood mononuclear cells; IHC = immunohistochemistry on antemortem and postmortem rectal tissues; PRNP = haplotypes shown include deduced amino acids at codons 112, 136, 154, 171; dpt = days post-transfusion; cells labeled with magnetic beads: @CD18-labeled PBMCs; #CD72-labeled B cells (Pan B lymphocytes); &CD21-labeled CD21+ B cells (a subpopulation of B lymphocytes), these cells were labeled with primary and magnetic microbeads coupled secondary antibodies
  2. 1Total whole blood volume from which each inoculum was derived per recipient animal.
