Evaluation of transmission properties is important for the differential diagnosis of a subgroup of acquired Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) with methionine homozygosity at polymorphic codon 129 of thePRNPgene, an intermediate type abnormal prion protein (PrP), and kuru plaques, denoted as acquired CJD-MMiK. The present study aimed to develop a quick evaluation system of the transmission properties of acquired CJD-MMiK. In the PrP-humanized mice intraperitoneally inoculated with brain homogenates from an acquired CJD-MMiK patient, accumulation of abnormal PrP was observed in follicular dendritic cells of the spleen at 75 days post-inoculation. The transmission properties of acquired CJD-MMiK were quite different from those of sporadic CJD with the samePRNPcodon 129 genotype. Moreover, even at 14 days post-inoculation, the characteristic transmission properties of acquired CJD-MMiK could be detected. These findings suggest that the bioassay using follicular dendritic cells of the spleen, named as a FDC assay, can be an easy, time-saving, and useful method to distinguish acquired CJD-MMiK from sporadic CJD.
