Human transmissible spongiform encephalopathies : the european diagnostic laboratory (TSELAB)

Objective

There is a lack of diagnostic procedures able to identify people during the cud incubation time, and uncertainty with the clinical diagnosis of human Tees. In response, TSELAB is proposed as multidisciplinary European diagnostic TSE laboratory without walls. It aims to develop and apply clinical and novel laboratory diagnostic procedures to identify preclinical and clinical phases of various Tees, by examination of various tissues, preferably of readily accessible fluids such as blood or urine, and to identify cud possibly emerging also in non-129MM gene-types. TSELAB effectively complements existing clinical-epidemiological and pathological-pathological networks in Europe that will provide material for investigation. Partners include the most experienced European groups for TSE diagnostic procedures, have developed the novel PMCA, SIFT, ELISA, controlled degradation of Prepress and pups methods themselves, and can be expected to achieve project aims.
