Guest guest Posted December 15, 1998 Report Share Posted December 15, 1998 I spoke with Dr. Bosque, who is a member of the Fred Cohen Group at the University of California, in San Francisco. He informed me that they have mice that are sensitive to prion proteins, and would be glad to test any medication suspected in the death of a confirmed CJD case. I also asked him if they have any experimental drugs that they are working on at this time and he said " no " . Everything they have worked on so far has not been successful. He told me that they test for genetic CJD, and retain the blood samples for future reference in case of new discoveries. Dr. Bosque can be contacted at bosque@... of Fax # .
