ABSTRACT
Protease-resistant fibril proteins purified from Spiroplasma mirum and from Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease-infected brain tissues reacted with antisera to scrapie-associated fibrils on Western immunoblot analysis. These data suggest that there are conformational similarities among spiroplasma proteins and infection-specific proteins of the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies.
