name:	An antibody raised against a conserved sequence of the prion protein recognizes pathological isoforms in human and animal prion diseases, including Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and bovine spongiform encephalopathy.
description:	Anti-human PrP95-108 was tested against overlapping dodecapeptides spanning the entire ovine PrP sequence. The antiserum reacted optimally to the epitope. The authors deduce the cross-reactive epitope shared between species (human, ovine, bovine, hamster, and murine) to be NKPSKPKTN.
