Overview[edit | edit source]

Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of bovine spongiform encephalopathy include the detection of PrPBSE in the brain tissue (either by western blot, ELISA, or ID-Leystad), the detection of Scrapie-Associated Fibrils in the brain tissue (by electron microscopy), and specific histopathologic findings such as vacuolation of neurons and neuropil.

Laboratory Findings[edit | edit source]
