Investigating the effects of preclinical prion disease on blood protein composition and infectivity

2020-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Since 1996 there have been 226 cases of variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) in the UK following dietary exposure to bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in the late 80s to early 90s. A recent study on archived appendix tissue has suggested that up to 1/2000 of the UK population may be silent carriers of infection. This is a significant portion of the UK population who may be incubating the disease and thus...
