Differentiation of Prions from L-type BSE versus Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012
We compared transmission characteristics for prions from L-type bovine spongiform encephalopathy and MM2-cortical sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in the Syrian golden hamster and an ovine prion protein–transgenic mouse line and isolated distinct prion
