. Immuno-PCR as ultrasensitive toolSignal improvement compared to ELISA

- 100x on pathogenic protein (CJD)

. Immuno-PCR as detection toolcould be used to detect pathogenic and no-pathogenic

forms of Prion protein (and others)

3. Conclusions

. Immuno-PCR with low backgroundBuffers/Antibodies/DNA/plate improvement

- Background near of a Ct= 40

- Reproductibility intra – and inter-days

. immuno-PCR as a new usefulfor ante-mortem PrPres detection IN BLOOD
