| Abstract | Small amounts of brain tissue (2 g) infected with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) can be fractionated by using a simple 1-day method that includes lysis with N-lauroylsarcosine. Unique fibrils have been identified previously in scrapie- and CJD-infected tissue. These fibrils were abundant in final fractions. Preparations from human CJD autopsy material and from experimental hamster and guinea pig CJD all displayed readily identifiable fibrils that were not seen in control preparations. Thus, these methods appear to be of value in biopsy diagnosis of suspected human cases of CJD. Lysis with N-lauroylsarcosine quantitatively solubilized infectivity from membrane-rich fractions. Significant infectivity was recovered in microfractionations. After proteinase K digestion, a diffuse band at 29 kDa was detectable on NaDodSO4/PAGE. This 29-kDa material was not present in uninfected control brain and was similar to that seen in scrapie. Protein blots of human, guinea pig, and hamster CJD fractions were tested with an antibody raised against a 29-kDa band from mouse scrapie; 29-kDa proteins were labeled in all CJD and scrapie fractions but not in controls. These results indicate that specific proteins in both these diseases share common antigenic determinants. Ricin and wheat germ agglutinin, but not concanavalin A, also labeled a portion of the 29-kDa band from hamster CJD and hamster scrapie fractions, but they did not label any bands in normal hamster fractions at the same gel protein loads. When proteinase K treatment was omitted, specific bands of approximately equal to 35 kDa were detected in CJD samples. These results are consistent with the idea that some CJD- and scrapie-specific proteins are glycoproteins or sialoglycoproteins that can reside in or possibly derive from cell membranes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
