Abstract excerpt
We have investigated the proteolytic cleavage of the cellular (PrPC) and pathological (PrPSc) isoforms of the human prion protein (PrP) in normal and prion-affected brains and in tonsils and platelets from neurologically intact individuals. The various PrP species were resolved after deglycosylation according to their electrophoretic mobility, immunoreactivity, Sarkosyl solubility, and, as a novel approach,...
