Experimental transfusion of variant CJD-infected blood reveals previously uncharacterised prion disorder in mice and macaque
It is hypothesised that exposure to bovine spongiform encephalopathy through contaminated food could have resulted in a large proportion of latent variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease cases in humans. Here the authors demonstrate that inoculation with blood from non-symptomatic, vCJD infected humans, r...
