Spongiform degeneration in the cerebral cortex (A), adjacent section showing abundant prion protein (PrP) immunopositivity (B). Squirrel monkey without transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (C, D). Cerebral cortex with no spongiform degeneration (C), absence of PrP positivity in the cerebral cortex (D). Panels A and C correspond to sections stained with hematoxylin and eosin; panels B and
