Human slow virus encephalopathies include Kuru,Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease,& Gerstmann- Straussler syndrome. The agents causing these diseases form a group of virus-like organisms called prions. The fibrils are believed to be aggregations of the major proteins of the infectious agents themselves. Magnification: x210,000 at 10x8inch size,x28,000 at 35mm size | |
