title: [The use of electron microscopy for diagnosing spongiform encephalopathies].
abstract: The authors suggest an unsophisticated approach to laboratory diagnosis of spongiform encephalopathies induced by unconventional prion viruses, consisting in electron microscopic detection of abnormal helical Scrapie-associated fibrils. These fibrils are detectable in human and animal brain tissue samples and in cell cultures.
