Figure 2

PrP Sc causes a dose-dependent increase in the free cholesterol concentration of cortical neurons. The amounts of free cholesterol expressed as ng cholesterol/mg protein in cortical neurons treated for 48 hours with varying concentrations of PrPC (â– ) or PrPSc (â–¡). Amounts of free cholesterol significantly greater than those of untreated neurons (P < 0.05) are indicated with *.
