Long-Term Aging of Unbound and Soil-Bound HY TME PrPSc.
(A–D): Representative Western blots (n = 3) of aged HY TME samples, shown with a 2.5 µl 10% BH control. Arrows indicate migration of 29 kDa and 20 kDa molecular weight markers. (A): 10% HY brain homogenate. (B): Bentonite clay. (C): Silicon dioxide powder. (D): Rinda silty clay loam soil (SCL Soil). (E–F): Quantification of blots shown in (A–D). Error bars show ±1 standard error of the mean. *indicates sample (BH H2O 180 d) not available.
