Development of Methods for the Real-Time and Rapid Identification and Detection of TSE in Living Animals Using Fluorescence Spectroscopy of the Eye

Abstract

Fluorescence spectra of scrapie-infected sheep eyes have been compared with those of healthy cow eyes. All of the eye parts have been investigated in detail and assessed for their ability to determine whether they provide a probe of TSE infection.
