Abstract

German patients suspected of having Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) and related diseases were studied pathologically. The immunohistochemical findings after hydrolytic autoclaving pretreatment sensitively detected the synaptic-type deposition of the protease-resistant isoform of the prion protein (PrP(res)) which thus served to establish the consensus diagnosis of CJD.
