Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Previous studies established that prion disease with unique strain-specific phenotypes could be induced by in vitro-formed recombinant PrP (rPrP) fibrils with structures different from that of authentic prions, or PrP(Sc). To explain the etiology of prion diseases, new mechanism proposed that in animals the transition from rPrP fibrils to PrP(Sc) consists of two main steps: the first involves...
