The Glycosylation Status of PrP <sup>C</sup> Is a Key Factor in Determining Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy Transmission between Species
12 Feb 2015
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: The risk of transmission of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE) between different species has been notoriously unpredictable because the mechanisms of transmission are not fully understood. A transmission barrier between species often prevents infection of a new host with a TSE agent. Nonetheless, some TSE agents are able to cross this barrier and infect new species, with devastating...
