A method of detecting transmissible spongiform encephalopathies is described which involves (a) treating a sample of tissue, blood or a blood derivative from a test subject with alcohol and a detergent. (b) adding an agent which degrades normal prion protein (c) adding an agent which denatures abnormal prion protein. (d) adding a prion-specific antibody and (e) detecting binding of the antibody to the sample. Also described is a method of fixing abnormal prion protein to a substrate comprising (a) treating the protein or a sample suspected to contain the abnormal prion protein with alcohol and an anionic detergent ans (b) adding a protease in the presence of the substrate.
