Abstract
Markers for TSE that are present prior to formation of detectable pathological prion protein are useful to detect this infection prior to clinical signs. Additional markers are useful to detect the stage of TSE infection and distinguish it from other conditions which have similar clinical symptoms. Determinations on isolated cell preparations are particularly useful, especially those derived from peripheral (non-brain) sources.
