  • F2-a One mouse in each of these groups died during the 5 month incubation period; the numbers shown indicate the mice that remained for analysis.

  • F2-b These five mice represent two separate experiments. Three mice were injected in the initial study (one died during incubation); 6 months later, an additional three mice were injected with extract from the same case. All five mice showed similar levels of extract-induced Aβ-immunoreactivity.
