Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) are a group of progressive, invariably fatal, conditions that are associated with prions and affect the brain (encephalopathies) and nervous system of many animals, including humans, cattle, and sheep. According to the most widespread hypothesis, they are transmitted by prions, though some other data suggest an involvement of a Spiroplasma infection. Mental and physical abilities deteriorate and many tiny holes appear in the cortex causing it to appear like a sponge when brain tissue obtained at autopsy is examined under a microscope. The disorders cause impairment of brain function, including memory changes, personality changes and problems with movement that worsen chronically.

Method and kit for extracting prion protein
InactiveUS6150172AMethod is fastThe testing process is simplePeptide preparation methodsDepsipeptidesIonic strengthSheep brain
A method for extracting prion protein from a biological material, e.g., an animal tissue or product. In a specific example, abnormal prion protein is extracted from homogenized sheep brain with hexafluoro-2-propanol. The hexafluoro-2-propanol is separated from the aqueous brain preparation by increasing the ionic strength of the aqueous solution. Prion protein in the organic extract can be further purified, or the extract can be tested, e.g., by immunoassay, for the presence of prion protein, and more particularly abnormal prion protein. The extraction process permits testing for the presence of abnormal prior protein, e.g., for diagnosis of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE).

Rapid prion-detection assay
Assays are provided for rapid detection, with high specificity of the pathogenic form of prion protein responsible for neurodegenerative diseases affecting humans and animals, such as transmissible spongiform encephalopathy in bovine, sheep, and cats. Also provided are assays for testing animal feedstock, such as animal feed, for the presence or concentration of pathogenic prion protein. Results are available in from about 0.5 to about 20 minutes and preferably within from about 5 to about 10 minutes. The assays employ proteinase-K to remove normal prion protein from a biological sample, so that the sample may be analyzed by immunochromatography to determine the presence and concentration of pathogenic prion protein. Because the proteinase-K is immobilized on a solid support for in situ removal of interfering components, the present invention obviates the need for subsequent extraction of the desired analyte. All aspects of the present invention are suitable for quantifying the minimal detectable amount of pathogenic prion protein in a biological sample. Moreover, the simplicity of sample preparation makes the present invention suitable for use in the field.

Heart and brain fatty acid binding proteins (H-FABP, B-FABP) are markers for TSEs, especially CJD. The invention provides a diagnostic assay for either of these markers, preferably by enzyme immunoassay using a specific antibody thereto. Since H-FABP is also a marker for acute myocardial infarction (AMI), to distinguish CJD from AMI requires an assay specific to AMI, e.g. using troponin-1 or CK-MB as a marker, also to be carried out.

InactiveUS20050255525A1Easy to distinguishEffectively infectivityMicrobiological testing/measurementDisease diagnosisWestern blotBiology
Provided is a safe novel method for detecting Transmissible Spongiform encephalopathies (TSE). The method comprises: selecting a sample from a subject to determine whether the subject has transmissible spongiform encephalopathy; and detecting abnormal prion protein (Prpes) in the sample. The method detects PrPres without Proteinase-K treatment by disrupting the sample in guanidine thiocyanate lysis solution followed by phenol purification of proteins, and demonstration of the abnormal prion isoform by Western blotting using monoclonal antibodies against prion protein structure. Guanidine salts effectively kill TSE infectivity providing a laboratory safe environment and stabilize biomolecules so TSE samples can be procured in the field and transported to the laboratory in guanidine lysis solution for processing at a later date. This method provides for rapid detection of the abnormal prion isoform diagnostic of TSE and results are easily interpretable based upon very different Western blot patterns for abnormal prion isoform versus the normal prion.
