Highly infectious prions are not directly neurotoxic by Benilova, Iryna, Reilly, Madeleine, Terry, Cassandra, Wenborn, Adam, Schmidt, Christian, Marinho, Aline T., Risse, Emmanuel, Al-Doujaily, Huda, Wiggins De Oliveira, Michael, Sandberga, Malin K., Wadsworth, Jonathan D. F., Jat, Parmjit S, Collinge, John

“…We fur- ther show that treatment of brain homogenates from prion-infected mice with sodium lauroylsarcosine destroys toxicity without diminish- ing infectivity. This is consistent with models in which prion propa- gation and toxicity can be mechanistically uncoupled.…”
