    Abstract:
    Methods aimed at the detection of causative agents in the CSF and peripheral blood lymphocytes are recommended for the use in intravital laboratory diagnosis of slow infections of the central nervous system. The results obtained enable recommending the biotest on guinea-pigs or indication of the causative agent of amyotrophic leukospongiosis (AL) in cell culture coupled with the punctate immunoenzyme assay for the diagnosis of AL. As to the diagnosis of Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease, it is suggested that the biotest on guinea-pigs and the punctate immunoenzyme assay may be used.
