Neurotoxic Antibodies against the Prion Protein Do Not Trigger Prion Replication.

Neurotoxic Antibodies against the Prion Protein Do Not Trigger Prion Replication.

Prions are the infectious agents causing transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE), progressive, inexorably lethal neurological diseases. Antibodies targeting the globular domain (GD) of the cellular prion protein PrPC trigger a neurotoxic syndrome morphologically and molecularly similar to pr...
