Contrasting Effects of Two Lipid Cofactors of Prion Replication on the Conformation of the Prion Protein.

Recent studies introduced two experimental protocols for converting full-length recombinant prion protein (rPrP) purified from E.coli into the infectious prion state (PrPSc) with high infectivity titers. Both protocols employed protein misfolding cyclic amplification (PMCA) for generating PrPSc de n...
