Primary glia cells from bank vole propagate multiple rodent-adapted scrapie prions
Abstract Since the beginning prion research has been largely dependent on animal models for deciphering the disease, drug development or prion detection and quantification. Thereby, ethical as well as cost and labour-saving aspects call for alternatives in vitro. Cell models can replace or at least...
