Paracrine diffusion of PrP(C) and propagation of prion infectivity by plasma membrane-derived microvesicles.

Paracrine diffusion of PrP(C) and propagation of prion infectivity by plasma membrane-derived microvesicles.

Cellular prion protein (PrP(C)) is a physiological constituent of eukaryotic cells. The cellular pathways underlying prions spread from the sites of prions infection/peripheral replication to the central nervous system are still not elucidated. Membrane-derived microvesicles (MVs) are submicron (0.1...
