Prion diseases are characterized by the accumulation in the brain of abnormal conformers (PrPSc) of the cellular prion protein (PrPC).PrPSc immunohistochemistry, currently based on antibodies non-distinguishing between PrPC and PrPSc, requires pre-treatments of histological sections to eliminate PrP...
