Critical factors influencing prion inactivation by sodium hydroxide

Background and Objectives  Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) are fatal neurodegenerative diseases caused by aberrantly folded cellular proteins (PrPSc; prions) that are generally resistant to conventional pathogen‐inactivation techniques. To ensure effective decontamination and inactivation of prions that could be present in source material, we investigated critical factors that influence prion inactivation by NaOH.
