Abstract (en)
[origin: GB2379737A] Diseases such as BSE, CJD or scrapie are diagnosed in a subject by analysing a sample of body fluid by mass spectrometry to determine the presence of a polypeptide marker of molecular weight 3500 to 30000 where the polypeptide is present in different amounts in the body fluid of infected and non-infected subjects. The test sample may be adsorbed on a probe carrying an adsorbent material capable of binding the polypeptide. The material is e.g. a metal chelating group complexed with a metal ion. Kits for carrying out the diagnosis are also disclosed. The body fluid sample may be from humans or cattle.
