Abstract excerpt
Familial prion diseases are linked to point and insertional mutations in the prion protein (PrP) gene that are presumed to favor conversion of the cellular isoform of PrP to the infectious isoform. In this report, we have investigated the subcellular localization of PrP molecules carrying pathogenic mutations using immunofluorescence staining, immunogold labeling, and PrP-green fluorescent protein chimeras. To...
