Abstract excerpt
The 37kDa/67kDa laminin receptor (LRP/LR) has been identified as a cell surface receptor for cellular and infectious prion proteins. Here, we show that an N-terminally truncated LRP mutant encompassing the extracellular domain of the LRP/LR (LRP102-295::FLAG) reduces the binding of recombinant cellular huPrP to mouse neuroblastoma cells, and infectious moPrP27-30 to BHK cells, and interferes with the PrP(Sc)...
