ABNORMAL PRION PROTEIN BINDER, AND METHOD FOR DETECTION OF ABNORMAL PRION PROTEIN

摘要

Disclosed are: a method for detecting abnormal prion protein as distinguished from normal prion protein in a simple manner, rapidly, with a high degree of sensitivity and quantitatively without the need of the enzymatic treatment with protease K; and a reagent for use in the method. Specifically disclosed are: an abnormal prion protein binder which comprises lactoferrin; and a method for detecting abnormal prion protein by using the abnormal prion protein binder.
