Patent

CA 2364686

The invention is related to diagnostic methods for detecting transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) such as BSE and scrapie and related disease in humans. The invention provides use of guanidine thiocyanate (gdnSCN) or a functional equivalent thereof for treating at least one sample derived from a mammal, including humans for reducing the risk of scoring a false-positive test result in testing said sample for the presence or absence of aberrant prion protein.

L'invention concerne des méthodes de diagnostic destinées à la détection des encéphalopathies spongiformes transmissibles (TSE), telles que l'encéphalopathie spongiforme bovine et la tremblante du mouton, et des maladies associées, chez l'homme. L'invention concerne l'utilisation de thiocyanate de guanidine ou d'un équivalent actif de celui-ci, dans le traitement d'au moins un échantillon prélevé sur un mammifère, notamment chez l'homme, de manière à limiter les risques d'établissement d'un résultat de test faussement négatif, lors de l'essai de cet échantillon destiné à révéler la présence ou l'absence de la particule infectieuse protéinique aberrante (prion).
