DNA methylation analysis of archival lymphoreticular tissues in Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and the prevalence of vCJD infection in the UK

2022-06-17

Abstract excerpt

The exposure of the UK and other European populations to bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) prions caused human variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (vCJD) and a prolonged public health crisis. Throughout, a key question has been the prevalence of vCJD prion infection in the UK population. vCJD has several distinct features including immunohistochemically detectable abnormal prion protein (PrP) in peripheral lymp...
