摘要
Peripheral blood leukocytes (PBLs) from scrapie-infected sheep were evaluated for the presence of PrPSc by using dissociated retropharyngeal lymph node (DRLN) cells and immunohistochemistry (IHC). PrPSc-positive cells were detected in 2.05% 0.28% of 3 x 10(6) DRLN cells, but were not detected in 3 x 10(6) PBLs from scrapie-infected sheep. Titration of DRLN cells mixed with PBLs showed that IHC detects a minimum of 0.00205% or 60 PrPSc-positive cells in 3 x 10(6) PBLs.
