Journal ArticleDOI

Loss of cerebellar Purkinje cells in aged mice homozygous for a disrupted PrP gene

TL;DR: It is found that homozygous loss of the PrP gene has no deleterious effect on the development of these mice and renders them resistant to prion2, suggesting that PrP plays a role in the long-term survival of Purkinje neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ultrasensitive human prion detection in cerebrospinal fluid by real-time quaking-induced conversion

TL;DR: A new PrPSc amplification assay, called real-time quaking-induced conversion (RT-QUIC), which allows the detection of ≥1 fg ofPrPSc in diluted Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) brain homogenate, and indicates the promising enhanced diagnostic capacity of RT- QUIC in the antemortem evaluation of suspected CJD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Successful Transmission of Three Mouse-Adapted Scrapie Strains to Murine Neuroblastoma Cell Lines Overexpressing Wild-Type Mouse Prion Protein

TL;DR: The results corroborate the hypothesis that the successful transmission of agents ex vivo depends on both expression levels of host PrPC and the sequence of PrPSc and provide a basis for the development of highly susceptible cell lines that could be used in diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to the TSEs.
Journal Article

A mouse prion protein transgene rescues mice deficient for the prion protein gene from Purkinje cell degeneration and demyelination

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report torpedo-like axonal swellings associated with residual Purkinje cells in Prnp o/o mice, and demonstrate abnormal myelination in the spinal cord and peripheral nerves.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prion infection impairs the cellular response to oxidative stress

TL;DR: This study indicates for the first time that prion infection results in an alteration of the molecular mechanisms promoting cellular resistance to reactive oxygen species and is vital for future therapeutic approaches in transmissible spongiform encephalopathies and the understanding of the function of the prion protein.
