NEJM 349:1812-1820, Glatzel,M.,et al, 2003
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Using sensitive techniques, we identified extraneural deposition of PrPSc in spleen and muscle samples from approximately one third of patients who died with sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Extraneural PrPSc appears to correlate with a long duration of disease.
