Protein conformation dictates prion strain

Nature Medicine volume 4, pages 1125–1126 (1998)Cite this article

Abstract

A new conformation-based immunoassay provides a smart and sensitive way of differentiating between strains of prions, the infectious particles believed to cause spongiform encephalopathy (pages 1157–1165 ).
