Abstract excerpt
Sporadic, acquired, and genetic human prion diseases are characterized neuropathologically by distinct deposition patterns of the abnormal, disease-associated form of the prion protein (PrP(sc)). In addition to mutations in the prion protein gene (PRNP), PrP(sc) immunostaining patterns correlate with molecular phenotypes of prion diseases defined by the PRNP polymorphism at codon 129 and with protease-resistant...
