Abstract excerpt
Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE) or prion diseases exhibit strain variation, a phenomenon that has been studied extensively in mouse bioassays. Despite the introduction of many rapid in vitro systems, bioassays remain a key tool in defining prion strains and their ability to transmit disease in vivo. Prion strains can be characterized by a range of phenotypic characteristics such as incubation...
