摘要
Background and Objectives A standard panel of materials is needed for the evaluation of assays being developed for the diagnosis of variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Materials and Methods Tissues from human and animals incubating transmissible spongiform encephalopathy disease have been prepared, aliquoted and where possible characterized by in vitro methods. Results A standardized preparation of materials has been generated. Conclusions Large-scale preparations of tissues and blood fractions can be used to directly compare the sensitivities of assays using different formats.
