Abstract excerpt
Several lines of evidence suggest that various cofactors may be required for prion replication. PrP binds to polyanions, and RNAs were shown to promote the conversion of PrP(C) into PrP(Sc) in vitro. In the present study, we investigated strain-specific differences in RNA requirement during in vi...
