Advantages of NaOH as a Cleaning Agent • Readily available • Inexpensive • Rapid • Effectiveat moderate concentrations • Compatible with equipment
NaOH Inactivates Prions *Infectivity Assay *** Dried on stainless steel coupons ** Western blot assay **** in the presence of detergent

Evaluate the Effect of NaOH on Prion • Mix clarified SBH and NaOH to final concentrations of 1% and 0.1M, with or without 2% sarkosyl. • Incubate at 4° or 18° for 0, 15 or 60 minutes. • Withdraw samples and neutralize pH. (Control is neutralized before addition of SBH.) • Treat with proteinase K to remove PrPC, then concentrate samples by centrifugation. • Resuspend pellets in 2X SDS sample buffer, and serially dilute (by half logs) for electrophoresis.
