Abstract excerpt
We immunohistochemically examined tissue sections from patients with prion protein (PrP) polymorphism using hydrolytic autoclaving enhancement. Abnormal PrP accumulations could be classified into plaque formations (plaque-type) and the diffuse gray matter stainings including synaptic structures (synaptic-type). Insertional polymorphism, a point mutation in codon 102 or 117/129, and a polymorphism in codon 129...
