Prion Diseases and the Immune System
Clinical Immunology, 2000 Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies are caused by unusual infectious agents that are purported to contain a single type of macromolecule, a modified host glycoprotein. The term prion has been applied to this group of agents. Surprisingly, the immune system appears to behave as a Trojan's horse rather than a protective fortification during prion ...
