Popis: Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease (CJD) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by piron, which mainly consists of abnormal prion protein (PrPSc). As PrPSc was detected recently in two patients who received transfusion from preclinical variant CJD (vCJD), concerns about the theoretical risk of transmission of vCJD through blood products increased. In order to contribute the blood products-safety against prion, we aimed at obtaining monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) eligible for screening procedures.
