Abstract excerpt
Prion protein type and codon 129 genotype are thought to be major determinants of susceptibility and phenotype in human prion diseases. Using an in-vitro system (protein misfolding cyclic amplification) we have attempted to model human prion protein conversion using the abnormal prion protein associated with each of the major sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease subtypes, in substrates containing the normal...
