Binding of N- and C-terminal anti-prion protein antibodies generates distinct phenotypes of cellular prion proteins (PrPC) obtained from human, sheep, cattle and mouse.

Abstract excerpt

Prion diseases are neurodegenerative disorders which cause Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans, scrapie in sheep and bovine spongiform encephalopathy in cattle. The infectious agent is a protease resistant isoform (PrP(Sc)) of a host encoded prion protein (PrP(C)). PrP(Sc) proteins are characterized according to size and glycoform pattern. We analyzed the glycoform patterns of PrP(C) obtained from humans, sheep,...
