Similar protein signatures for BSE and vCJD

Suzette A. Priola

Laboratory of Persistent Viral Diseases, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Rocky Mountain Laboratories, Hamilton, Montana 59840, USA

Emerging evidence supports a connection between "new variant" Creutzfeldt−Jakob disease in humans and "mad cow" disease — but is it proof?
