Interactions of prion proteins with soil

2006-07-01

Abstract excerpt

Prions, are proteinaceous particles recognized as the agents of a class of neurodegenerative disorders, called transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE), or prion diseases. Epidemiological data suggest that TSE-contaminated environments may serve as source of infectivity, but there is no information about adsorption of prions onto soil. We carried out experiments by mixing, healthy, or scrapie-infected hamst...
