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.
