Enhancement of binding avidity by bivalent binding enables PrPSc-specific detection by anti-PrP monoclonal antibody 132.

Anti-prion protein (PrP) monoclonal antibody 132, which recognizes mouse PrP amino acids 119-127, enables us to reliably detect abnormal isoform prion protein (PrPSc) in cells or frozen tissue sections by immunofluorescence assay, although treatment with guanidinium salts is a prerequisite. Despite...
