Development and characterisation of PC12 cell lines allowing inducible expression of prion proteins carrying pathogenic mutations
2005-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Inherited prion diseases are linked to mutations in the prion protein (PrP)p gene that are presumed to favor conversion of PrP into a neurotoxic isoform (Prp<sup>Sc</sup>) Several cellular models of inherited prion diseases have been Q developed in which mutant PrP costitutively expressed acquires PrP<sup>Sc</sup>-like properties but is not cytotoxic. However, the use of constitutive models does not exclude the po...
