Selective amplification of classical and atypical prions using modified protein misfolding cyclic amplification.

Abstract excerpt

With the development of protein misfolding cyclic amplification (PMCA), the topic of faithful propagation of prion strain-specific structures has been constantly debated. Here we show that by subjecting brain material of a synthetic strain consisting of a mixture of self-replicating states to PMCAb, selective amplification of PrP(Sc) could be achieved, and that PMCAb mimicked the evolutionary trend observed...
