Abstract
Tubulovesicular structures, measuring 20-50 nm in diameter, were found in dilated neuronal processes in brains from mice infected with the Fujisaki strain of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease virus. These particles were similar to those observed in brains from hamsters infected with scrapie. These structures are consistently present in naturally occurring and experimentally induced spongiform encephalopathies, irrespective of the host species or virus strain. Their role in pathogenesis is undetermined.
