Abstract excerpt
Species, as well as individuals within species, have unique susceptibilities to prion infection that are likely based on sequence differences in cellular prion protein (PrP(C)). Species barriers to transmission also reflect PrP(C) sequence differences. Defining the structure-activity relationship of PrP(C)/PrP(Sc) with respect to infectivity/susceptibility will benefit disease understanding and assessment of...
