Efficient transmission and characterization of creutzfeldt-jakob disease strains in bank voles.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2006
Transmission of prions between species is limited by the "species barrier," which hampers a full characterization of human prion strains in the mouse model.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease After the Coronavirus Disease-2019 Vaccination

open access: yesTürk Yoğun Bakim Derneği Dergisi, 2022
Reports of neurological problems are increasing for the clinical presentation of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). The clinical presentation reported in this study seemed to be a combination of nonspecific complications of the systemic disease ...

Understanding the Phenotypic Heterogeneity Within the Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease MV1 Subtype. [PDF]

open access: yesNeuropathol Appl Neurobiol
We present the clinical, pathological and prion biophysical features of three atypical cases of the MV1 subtype of sporadic Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (sCJD). We propose that these heterozygous cases exist on a spectrum ranging from MM1‐like to VV1‐like phenotypes and recommend that subtyping be performed at pH 6.9 to avoid missing atypical or mixed ...

Source of variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease outside United Kingdom. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We studied the occurrence of variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) outside the United Kingdom in relation to the incidence of indigenous bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) and to the level of live bovines and bovine products imported from the UK ...

Beyond PrP res type 1/type 2 dichotomy in Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) cases are currently subclassified according to the methionine/valine polymorphism at codon 129 of the PRNP gene and the proteinase K (PK) digested abnormal prion protein (PrPres)identified on Western blotting ...

CSF lactate dehydrogenase activity in patients with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease exceeds that in other dementias [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The diagnosis of Creutzfeldt- Jakob disease (CJD) is still made by exclusion of other dementias. We now evaluated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) as a possible additional diagnostic tool. CSF LDH levels of patients with CJD (

Incidence and spectrum of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease variants with mixed phenotype and co-occurrence of PrPSc types: an updated classification [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Six subtypes of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease with distinctive clinico-pathological features have been identified largely based on two types of the abnormal prion protein, PrPSc, and the methionine (M)/valine (V) polymorphic codon 129 of the prion ...

Validation of the 2017 International Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Surveillance Network diagnostic criteria for sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) is the commonest human prion disease. sCJD is rapidly-progressive, universally fatal and transmissible.

Proteomic analysis of the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
So far, only the detection of 14-3-3 proteins in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) has been accepted as diagnostic criterion for Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). However, this assay cannot be used for screening because of the high rate of false-positive results,

Follow-up investigations of tau protein and S-100B levels in cerebrospinal fluid of patients with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Background: S-100B and tau protein have a high differential diagnostic potential for the diagnosis of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). So far there has been only limited information available about the dynamics of these parameters in the cerebrospinal ...
