A single ultrasensitive assay for detection and discrimination of tau aggregates of Alzheimer and Pick diseases

open access: yesActa Neuropathologica Communications, 2020
Multiple neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by aggregation of tau molecules. Adult humans express six isoforms of tau that contain either 3 or 4 microtubule binding repeats (3R or 4R tau).

Nanoplastics and Neurodegeneration: A Roadmap From Mechanism to Causation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 27, 13 May 2026.
Nanoplastics are pervasive environmental contaminants with potentially profound implications for human health. Emerging evidence suggests a possible link between nanoplastic exposure and neurodegeneration, a key driver of ageing and dementia, yet causality remains unresolved.

RT-QuIC sodium chloride titration for scrapie-infected and uninfected sheep brain samples.

open access: yes, 2018
RT-QuIC reactions were seeded with 10−2 brain homogenate of animal number 2 (ARQ/ARQ;x124) using full-length elk prion protein 132L (a) and 132M (b) using a range of NaCl concentrations (100–500 mM, 100 mM: blue, 200 mM: red, 300 mM:green, 400 mM: purple,

Enhanced Sensitivity of a Modified Quaking‐Induced Conversion Diagnostic Test for the Broad Detection of Sporadic and Inherited Prion Diseases: A Retrospective Study

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, Volume 99, Issue 5, Page 1303-1314, May 2026.
Objective Quaking‐induced conversion (QuIC) tests, which detect prion‐seeding activity in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), have markedly advanced the antemortem diagnosis of prion diseases such as Creutzfeldt‐Jakob disease (CJD). These tests provide high diagnostic accuracy and enable timely differentiation from other rapidly progressive neurodegenerative ...

RT-QuIC analysis for treatments of WTD-1 coated wires.

open access: yes, 2019
All wires were exposed to 10−2 WTD-1 CWD-positive brain homogenate, washed and allowed to dry before treatment. Wires were then immersed in either water or bleach treatments, briefly rinsed and dried before being placed into RT-QuIC plate wells for ...

RT-QuIC reactions seeded with CWD infected or not infected white tailed deer brains using BV rPrP as a substrate.

open access: yes, 2020
RT-QuIC reactions were seeded with EIA normalized stock (a), 10−1 (b), 10−2 (c), and 10−3 (d) dilutions of three CWD infected WTD brains and one negative animal.

Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein Antibody‐Associated Cerebral Cortical Encephalitis: A Comparative Study With Antibody‐Negative and Non‐MOG Antibody‐Positive Cortical Encephalitis in Chinese Adults

open access: yesCNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 5, May 2026.
MOG antibody‐associated cortical encephalitis (MOG‐CCE) presents a distinct clinical phenotype characterized by seizure‐dominant onset, unilateral cortical lesions, and favorable immunotherapy response, highlighting the diagnostic and prognostic value of antibody profiling in autoimmune cortical encephalitis.

Quaking-induced conversion of prion protein on a thermal mixer accelerates detection in brains infected with transmissible spongiform encephalopathy agents.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
Detection of misfolded prion protein, PrPTSE, in biological samples is important to develop antemortem tests for transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs).

Evidence for different seeding activities of misfolded tau in classical and rapidly progressive Alzheimer's disease

open access: yesBrain Pathology, Volume 36, Issue 3, May 2026.
The study analyzed the seeding activity of misfolded tau protein in Alzheimer's disease and rapidly progressive Alzheimer's disease patients and provides evidence for the existence of different tau assemblies supported by differences in cellular toxicity and morphology of thioflavin T‐positive real‐time quaking‐induced conversion products.

WB analysis with mAb SAF70 of RT-QuIC reaction products treated with increasing concentrations of PK.

open access: yes, 2019
Lane 1–6: RT-QuIC reaction products from reactions seeded with sCJD subtypes MM1, MM2, MV1, MV2, VV1, VV2, respectively. Lane 7: products of RT-QuIC reactions seeded with non-CJD 10%BH. Lane 8: unseeded RT-QuIC reaction products.
