Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies are associated with an autocatalytic conversion of normal prion protein, PrP C , to a protease-resistant form, PrPres. This autocatalytic reaction can be reproduced in vitro using a procedure called protein misfolding cyclic amplification (PMCA). Here we show that, unlike brain-derived PrP C , bacterially-expressed recombinant prion protein...
While chemokines play an important role in host defense, it has become abundantly clear that their expression is not solely restricted to immune cells. In this study, to investigate the role of chemokines in pathogenic mechanism of neurodegeneration in prion diseases, we determined the cerebral expression of RANTES, a major chemoattractant of monocytes and activated lymphocytes, and its receptors...
