Temporal serum neurofilament light chain concentrations in sheep inoculated with the agent of classical scrapie.

PLoS One

February 2024

United States Department of Agriculture, Virus and Prion Research Unit, National Animal Disease Center, Agricultural Research Service, Ames, Iowa, United States of America.

Objective: Neurofilament light chain (Nf-L) has been used to detect neuroaxonal damage in the brain caused by physical injury or disease. The purpose of this study was to determine if serum Nf-L could be used as a biomarker for pre-symptomatic detection of scrapie in sheep.

Methods: Four sheep with prion protein genotype AVQQ were intranasally inoculated with the classical scrapie strain x124.
