Ruminant prion disease detection and characterisation using protein misfolding cyclic amplification

Prion diseases or transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE) are characterised by the accumulation of a misfolded conformer (PrPSc) of a host encoded protein (PrPC). The misfolding event that leads to the formation PrPSc can be replicated in the in vitro amplification technique, protein misfold...
