  • Process for detecting PrPusing an antibiotic from the family of aminoglycosides
    Patent number: 7695918
    Abstract: A process of concentration by precipitation of PrPsc for detecting or diagnosing PrPsc, wherein a tissue or biological fluid stemming from or obtained from an animal or human organism is brought together with an antibiotic from the family of aminoglycosides, preferably streptomycin or one of its derivatives. The use of such an antibiotic for eliminating PrPsc from a tissue or biological fluid and a kit for diagnosing pathologies associated with the presence of PrPsc is also disclosed.

  • Method for detecting PrP using at least one positive charge and/or at least one glycosidic bond and a ligand other than a protein ligand
    Publication number: 20090286269
    Abstract: A method for detecting PrP in a biological human or animal sample that may contain said PrP. The method is characterized in that it uses a molecule containing at least one positive charge and/or at least one glycosidic bond and a ligand other than a protein ligand selected from macrocyclic ligands and glycosaminoglycans.

  • Method for detecting PrP using at least one positive charge and/or at least one glycosidic bond and a ligand other than a protein ligand
    Patent number: 7566530
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting PrP in a biological human or animal sample that may contain PrP. The inventive method is characterised in that it uses a molecule containing at least one positive charge and/or at least one osidic bond and a ligand other than a proteinic ligand selected from macrocyclic ligands and glycosaminoglycanes.

  • Process for detecting PrP using a macrocyclic adjuvant ligand
    Publication number: 20070154885
    Abstract: A process for detecting the forms of the prion pathogens responsible for subacute, transmissible, spongiform encephalopathies, including a macrocyclic adjuvant ligand (AML), free or bound to a support, that is added to a biological sample capable of containing PrPsc, the resulting suspension then being reacted with an anti-PrPsc antibody, and the presence of PrP is then detected.
