Each tab refers to a corresponding figure. Figure 1: Alpha-synuclein expression and seeding activity in SNCAA53T mice (Seeding amplification assay and ELISA raw data) Figure 3: Conditional human α-synuclein expression induces α-synuclein seeding activity in gut organoids (Seeding amplification assay raw data) Figure 4: Conditional human α-synuclein expression in gut mucosal cells produces in α-synuclein seeding activity in nodose ganglia (ELISA and seeding amplification assay raw data) Figure 5: Vagotomy spares the nodose ganglia from α-synuclein seeding activity and prevents spread to the hindbrain (ELISA and seeding amplification assay raw data) Sup.fig.1: Spike-in recombinant fibril seeds demonstrates sensitivity of RT-QuIC assays in protein lysates from Snca-/- nodose ganglia lysates (standard seeding amplification assay raw data) METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION Description of methods used for collection/generation of data: A full description of the analysis methods can be found in the preprint version of the manuscript doi: 10.1101/2023.08.14.553305 People involved with sample collection, processing, analysis and/or submission: Rashmi Chandra, Arpine Sokratian, Katherine R Chavez, Stephanie King, Sandip M Swain, Joshua C Snyder, Andrew B West, Rodger A Liddle
