Research Abstract |
This research was designed to develop a ultra-sensitive detection method for prion disease. We tried to establish the detection method with high sensitivity and singularity, according to amplify the DNA which uniquely bound to the prion protein and decide the sequence. Though the DNA sequence GGATG was identified from REPSA method as a candidate of consensus sequence, it didn't support sufficient for reproducibility and specificity in the latest study.
