Nah. Prion assay = misfolded protein. That would be measured via a western blot. But clinically, you would make the diagnosis pretty quickly through other findings.
Virioids? RNA/DNA PCR. Reminds me. I should take a 10 panel soon. These girls are dirty.
Back to lurking.

i wonder how many people know that Southern is just a dude's name, and the other 2 were basically "let's run with that" puns.
and yes sir, frequent panels for an active hobbyist-or busy provider-do not a loser make. and don't forget about MRSA (which is what i did my MS thesis on). it doesn't make the panel's cut but i suggest it should be added as a "quasi-std." it went totally bonkers in brazil a few years back, starting with the pros. hopefully
Candida auris-a freakin yeast of all things-will never become a thing along those lines. what's up with these nasty wacky resistant microbes all being a beautiful gold..
