Prions from Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Patients Propagate as Strain Mixtures

Prions from Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Patients Propagate as Strain Mixtures

ABSTRACT Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) cases are currently classified according to the methionine/valine polymorphism at codon 129 of the PRNP gene and the proteinase K-digested abnormal prion protein (PrPres) isoform identified by Western blotting (type 1 or type 2).
