Cerebrospinal fluid real-time quaking-induced conversion is a robust and reliable test for sporadic creutzfeldt–jakob disease:An international study [PDF]
Real-time quaking-induced conversion (RT-QuIC) has been proposed as a sensitive diagnostic test for sporadic Creutzfeldt\u2013Jakob disease; however, before this assay can be introduced into clinical practice, its reliability and reproducibility need to ...

Aqueous extraction of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue and detection of prion disease using real-time quaking-induced conversion [PDF]
Objective The goal of the research presented here is to determine if methods previously developed for the aqueous extraction of PrPSc from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue (FFPET) are applicable to the detection PrPSc by real-time quaking induced ...
