Figure 2: Wire-QuIC reaction can be useful to evaluate the decontamination rate of 263K hamster prions.
From: A direct assessment of human prion adhered to steel wire using real-time quaking-induced conversion
Decontamination of prion 263K treated with NaOH or SDS was evaluated by wire-QuIC reaction. Dilutions of 263K-BH (10-fold) were attached to wires, and then were treated with 1 mol/L of NaOH for 2 h (b) or 3% (w/v) SDS at 100 °C for 10 min (c). Wire-QuIC reactions were performed to measure the residual prion seeds to evaluate the decontamination rates of prion.
