Probing for prions: recognizing misfolded PrP

Nature Medicine volume 9, pages 819–820 (2003)Cite this article

New antibodies specific for the misfolded, and presumably pathogenic, form of the PrP protein have now made their long-awaited debut. These antibodies could provide tools for diagnostics, research and therapy (pages 893–899).
