RT-QuIC Assays in Humans … and Animals.
Food Safety, 2016 Prion diseases are neurodegenerative diseases affecting both humans and animal species. The phenotypic spectrum is broad and includes Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) and its variant zoonotic form (vCJD) in humans, while in animals, scrapie of sheep and goats, bovine spongiform encephalopathy and chronic wasting disease of deer, elk and moose are ...

Use of bovine recombinant prion protein and real-time quaking-induced conversion to detect cattle transmissible mink encephalopathy prions and discriminate classical and atypical L- and H-Type bovine spongiform encephalopathy. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Prions are amyloid-forming proteins that cause transmissible spongiform encephalopathies through a process involving conversion from the normal cellular prion protein to the pathogenic misfolded conformation (PrPSc).

, 2022 This protocol is for the detection of prionoid alpha-synuclein forms in human cerebrospinal fluid using the Real Time Quacking-Induced Conversion method (RT-QuIC). The protocol is adapted from Marco J. Russo, Christina D. Orru, Luis Concha‑Marambio, Simone Giaisi et al., 2021 (doi:10.1186/s40478-021-01282-8) and Concha-Marambio et al., 2019 (doi:10 ...

Progression of chronic wasting disease in white-tailed deer analyzed by serial biopsy RT-QuIC and immunohistochemistry. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 Chronic wasting disease (CWD) continues to spread or be recognized in the United States, Canada, and Europe. CWD is diagnosed by demonstration of the causative misfolded prion protein (PrPCWD) in either brain or lymphoid tissue using immunodetection ...

Translational Neurodegeneration, 2022 Background In patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD), real-time quaking-induced conversion (RT-QuIC) detection of pathological α-synuclein (α-syn) in olfactory mucosa (OM) is not as accurate as in other α-synucleinopathies.

PAD-Beads enrichment enhances detection of PrPSc using real-time quaking-induced conversion
BMC Research Notes, 2019 Objective Scrapie is a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) that naturally occurs in sheep and goats. This fatal neurodegenerative disease results from misfolding of the normal cellular prion protein (PrPC) to a pathogenic prion protein form ...

Transmission of CJD from nasal brushings but not spinal fluid or RT‐QuIC product [PDF]
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, 2020 AbstractObjectiveThe detection of prion seeding activity in CSF and olfactory mucosal brushings using real‐time quaking‐induced conversion assays allows highly accurate clinical diagnosis of sporadic Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease. To gauge transmission risks associated with these biospecimens and their testing, we have bioassayed prion infectivity levels ...
