Tubulovesicular structures (TVS) have been consistently observed in brain tissue of the transmissible spongiform virus encephalopathies such as natural and experimental scrapie, bovine spongiform encephalopathy and experimentally induced Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). TVS were recently demonstrated in 3 cases of naturally occurring CJD. We report here the presence of TVS in another human brain with CJD, as detected in all 3 specimens by thin section electron microscopy. Their occurrence in all types of spongiform encephalopathies, irrespective of the affected host and the strain of infectious agent, emphasizes their biological significance.
