Prion pathogenesis and secondary lymphoid organs (SLO): Tracking the SLO spread of prions to the brain [PDF]
Prion diseases are subacute neurodegenerative diseases that affect humans and a range of domestic and free-ranging animal species. These diseases are characterized by the accumulation of PrP(Sc), an abnormally folded isoform of the cellular prion protein

Peripheral nervous system manifestations of Chediak-Higashi disease [PDF]
Chediak-Higashi disease (CHD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder with hematologic, infectious, pigmentary, and neurologic manifestations. Classic CHD (C-CHD) presents in early childhood with severe infectious or hematologic complications unless treated with bone marrow transplantation. Atypical CHD (A-CHD) has less severe hematologic and infectious
