Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the human Superoxide dismutase 1 (hSOD1) gene are well-established cause of the motor neuron disease ALS. Patients and transgenic (Tg) ALS model mice carrying mutant variants develop hSOD1 aggregates in the CNS. We have identified two hSOD1 aggregate strains, which both transmit spreading template-directed aggregation and premature fatal paralysis when inoculated into adult transgenic mice. This...
