TI PrP amyloid plaques in Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease of short duration: immunohistochemical studies of 5 cases from Poland.
QU European Journal of Epidemiology 1991 Sep; 7(5): 505-10
PT journal article
AB We report here PrP-immunohistochemistry performed on brains from CJD cases from Poland. Only one of five definitive CJD cases exhibited typical PrP-immunoreactive kuru-like plaques and this was case of a short duration. We thus confirm the low frequency of PrP plaques in CJD of Eastern and Central European origin.
