Abstract:
Cell models for prion diseases are mainly of neuronal origin. However, the pathological isoform PrP(Sc) of cellular prion protein (PrP(c)) and prion infectivity are found in a variety of extraneural tissues in prion diseases. Although many cell types are not able to propagate PrP(Sc), little is known about cellular mechanism counteracting prion infection. It is desirable to identify neuronal or non-neuronal cell models that restrict PrP(Sc) generation or propagate PrP(Sc) only transiently. Neuro...     »
