Contents:
Pathology of Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease -- Clinical aspects of Variant CJD -- Dura mater related Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in Japan: Relationship between sites of grafts and clinical features -- Treatment options in patients with Prion Disease – the role of long term Cerebroventricular infusion of Pentosan Polysulphate -- Human prion diseases: novel diagnostic principles -- History and state of the art of PrP-res 'typing' in Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease -- Chronic wasting disease in Cervids in North America -- Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in Japan -- The role of host PrP in control of incubation time -- The role of the immune system in TSE agent neuroinvasion -- Prion protein interactions and TSE infections in cell culture models -- Semi-classical quantization of protein dynamics: Novel NMR relaxation formalism and its application to Prion.
In: Springer eBooksSummary: Prion diseases recently have attracted interest not only scientifically but also socially because of the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) epidemic and the outbreak of variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) in the United Kingdom. In 2004, the International Symposium of Prion Diseases for Food and Drug Safety was held October 31–November 2 in Sendai, Japan, where, 20 years earlier, arguments were first heard on whether the etiologic agent of transmissible spongiform encephalopathy was prions or scrapie-associated fibrils. This volume is a collection of current work on prion research that was presented at the 2004 symposium. Topics included range from basic research to clinical aspects of prion diseases, making the book a valuable resource for researchers and clinicians, and encouraging further developments by the next generation of researchers.
