Nature of the Scrapie Agent: Evidence Against a Viroid
AUTOR(ES)
Ward, Richard L.
RESUMO
The postulated viroid nature of scrapie agent was tested. Since the agent could not be recovered after a carefully controlled phenol extraction of infected mouse brains, it is suggested that this agent is not a viroid.
