Prion subcellular fractionation reveals infectivity spectrum, with a high titre-low PrP<sup>res </sup>level disparity

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Prion disease transmission and pathogenesis are linked to misfolded, typically protease resistant (PrP<sup>res</sup>) conformers of the normal cellular prion protein (PrP<sup>C</sup>), with the former posited...
