The Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor STI571 Induces Cellular Clearance of PrPSc in Prion-infected Cells
10 Jul 2004
Abstract excerpt
The conversion of the cellular prion protein (PrP(c)) into pathologic PrP(Sc) and the accumulation of aggregated PrP(Sc) are hallmarks of prion diseases. A variety of experimental approaches to interfere with prion conversion have been reported. Our interest was whether interference with intracellular signaling events has an impact on this conversion process. We screened approximately 50 prototype inhibitors of...
