Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for detecting PrP in a biological human or animal sample that may contain PrP. The inventive method is characterised in that it uses a molecule containing at least one positive charge and/or at least one osidic bond and a ligand other than a proteinic ligand selected from macrocyclic ligands and glycosaminoglycanes.

Abstract:
A process for detecting the forms of the prion pathogens responsible for subacute, transmissible, spongiform encephalopathies, including a macrocyclic adjuvant ligand (AML), free or bound to a support, that is added to a biological sample capable of containing PrPsc, the resulting suspension then being reacted with an anti-PrPsc antibody, and the presence of PrP is then detected.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an isolated cytotoxic factor which is associated with multiple sclerosis and which is selected from the heterocomplex GM2AP/GM2/MRP14 and mutated GM2AP/GM2/MRP14, and to the method of detecting said factor in a biological sample to be tested. The inventive method comprises the following steps consisting in: (i) bringing the biological sample into contact with at least one capture antibody selected from antibodies that bind specifically to the GM2AP protein, to the mutated GM2AP protein, to the MRP14 protein, to the complex GM2AP/GM2, to the complex mutated GM2AP/GM2 and to the complex MRP14/GM2, and with at least one labeled detection antibody selected from antibodies that bind specifically to the GM2AP protein, to the mutated GM2AP protein, to the MRP14 protein, to the complex GM2AP/GM2, to the complex mutated GM2AP/GM2 and to the complex MRP14/GM2, and (ii) detecting and/or quantifying the cytotoxic factor by detecting and/or quantifying the labeled detection antibody.

Abstract:
A process of concentration by precipitation of PrPsc for detecting or diagnosing PrPsc, wherein a tissue or biological fluid stemming from or obtained from an animal or human organism is brought together with an antibiotic from the family of aminoglycosides, preferably streptomycin or one of its derivatives. The use of such an antibiotic for eliminating PrPsc from a tissue or biological fluid and a kit for diagnosing pathologies associated with the presence of PrPsc is also disclosed.
Abstract:
The invention provides viral material and nucleotide fragments associated with multiple sclerosis and/or rheumatoid arthritis for use in methods of diagnosis, prophylaxis, and therapy.
Abstract:
Composition comprising two pathogenic and/or infective agents associated with multiple sclerosis, namely a first agent which consists of a human virus possessing reverse transcriptase activity and related to a family of endogenous retroviral elements, or a variant of said virus, and a second agent, or a variant of said second agent, these two pathogenic and/or infective agents originating from the same viral strain chosen from the strains designated, respectively, POL-2 deposited with the ECACC on Jul. 22 1992 under Accession Number V92072202 and MS7PG deposited with the ECACC on Jan. 8 1993 under Accession Number V93010816, and from their variant strains.
