Review. The neuropathology of kuru and variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences - 27 Nov 2008

McLean Catriona A

Abstract excerpt

A comparison of the pathological profiles of two spongiform encephalopathies with a similar presumptive route of infection was performed. Archival kuru and recent variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) cases reveal distinct lesional differences, particularly with respect to prion protein, sugge...
