Cerebellar lamellar bodies in two strains of murine scrapie.
Lamellar inclusion bodies have been described by other authors in the granular layer of the cerebellum of people suffering from the unconventional slow-virus disease of kuru and were thought to be associated with the disease. In this study, these bodies were also found in mice infected with scrapie, which belongs to the same group of diseases, as well as their age-matched controls.
