Human prion diseases are neurodegenerative disorders caused by abnormally folded prion proteins in the central nervous system. These proteins can be detected using the quaking-induced conversion assay. Compared with other bioassays, this assay is extremely sensitive and was used in the present study to determine prion distribution in sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease patients at autopsy. Although infectivity of the sporadic form is thought to be restricted within the central nervous system, results showed that prion-seeding activities reach 106/g from a 50% seeding dose in non-neuronal tissues, suggesting that prion-seeding activity exists in non-neural organs, and we suggested that non-neural tissues of 106/g SD50 did not exist the infectivity. Prion-seeding activities reach 106/g from a 50% seeding dose in non-neuronal tissues. Results suggest that prion-seeding activity exists in neural and non-neural organs. A major problem for the diagnosis and management of human prion diseases is the lack of rapid and high-sensitive assays to measure low prion levels. Recent studies have tried to measure prion concentrations in non-neuronal tissues, but prion levels were not sufficient. Therefore, we developed the RT-QuIC method to measure prion-seeding activity in the non-neuronal, human tissues. The SD50 levels in the spleen, kidney, lung, and liver were 5.0–6.5, with different SD50 levels in the individual cases.
