Neurodegenerative diseases of animals and humans including scrapie, bovine spongiform encephalopathy, and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease are caused by unusual infectious pathogens called prions. There is no evidence for a nucleic acid in the prion, but diverse experimental results indicate that a host-derived protein called PrPSc is a component of the ...

Immunology of Prion Protein and Prions
2017Many natural prion diseases are acquired peripherally, such as following the oral consumption of contaminated food or pasture. After peripheral exposure many prion isolates initially accumulate to high levels within the host's secondary lymphoid tissues. The replication of prions within these tissues is essential for their efficient spread to the brain

Mapping Functional Prion–Prion Protein Interaction Sites Using Prion Protein Based Peptide-Arrays
2009Protein-protein interactions are at the basis of most if not all biological processes in living cells. Therefore, adapting existing techniques or developing new techniques to study interactions between proteins are of importance in elucidating which amino acid sequences contribute to these interactions.

Prion proteins: a biological role beyond prion diseases
Acta Neurologica Scandinavica, 2007The biological role of the scrapie isoform of prion protein (PrP(Sc)) as an infectious agent in numerous human and non-human disorders of the central nervous system is well established. In contrast, and despite decades of intensive research, the physiological function of the endogenous cellular form of the prion protein (PrP(C)) remains elusive.

Hereditary prion protein amyloidoses
Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 2003Prion protein (PrP) amyloid accumulation is the pathologic hallmark of some inherited prion diseases such as Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker disease (GSS) and PrP cerebral amyloid angiopathy (PrP-CAA). In GSS, parenchymal amyloidosis may coexist with spongiform degeneration or neurofibrillary tangles, whereas in PrP-CAA, vascular amyloid coexists with ...

Prion Protein Functions and Dysfunction in Prion Diseases
Current Medicinal Chemistry, 2009Prion diseases are zoonotic infectious diseases caused by infectious particles, termed prions. Main component of prions is presumably a misfolded, partially protease-resistant conformer (PrP(Sc)) of a normal cell surface protein, the cellular prion protein (PrP(C)), whose anti-oxidative role is presumed by studies using prion protein (PrP)-knockout ...

Prion protein amplification techniques
2018Protein amplification techniques exploit the ability of PrPTSE to induce a conformational change in prion protein (PrP) in a continuous fashion, so that the small amount of PrPTSE found in tissues and biologic fluids in prion diseases can be amplified to a point where they are detectable by conventional laboratory techniques.

Prion Protein Disease and Neuropathology of Prion Disease
Neuroimaging Clinics of North America, 2008Human prion diseases, in common with other neurodegenerative diseases, may be sporadic or inherited and are characterized by the accumulation of cellular proteins accompanied by neuronal death and synaptic loss. Prion diseases are, however, unique in being transmissible.
