A morphologic study of opportunistic cerebral toxoplasmosis.

abstract：:Prions cause scrapie and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD); these infectious pathogens are composed largely, if not entirely, of protein molecules. No prion-specific polynucleotide has been identified. Purified preparations of scrapie prions contain high titers (greater than or equal to 10(9.5) ID50/ml), one protein (Pr...
