• PrPTSE distribution in a primate model of variant, sporadic, and iatrogenic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.

  Human prion diseases, such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), are neurodegenerative and fatal. Sporadic CJD (sCJD) can be transmitted between humans …

• The 37 kDa/67 kDa laminin receptor is required for PrP(Sc) propagation in scrapie-infected neuronal cells.

  The accumulation of PrP(Sc) in scrapie-infected neuronal cells has been prevented by three approaches: (i) transfection of ScMNB cells with an antisen…

• Knock-down of the 37-kDa/67-kDa laminin receptor in mouse brain by transgenic expression of specific antisense LRP RNA.

  The 37-kDa/67-kDa laminin receptor (LRP/LR) plays a major role in the propagation of PrPSc, the abnormal form of the prion protein. In order to ablate…

• Toxic effects of intracerebral PrP antibody administration during the course of BSE infection in mice.

  The absence of specific immune response is a hallmark of prion diseases. However, in vitro and in vivo experiments have provided evidence that an anti…
