Journal ArticleDOI

Type I interferon protects neurons from prions in in vivo models.

TL;DR: Using cell culture and animal models of prion diseases, Ishibashi et al. show that type I interferon signalling interferes with prion infection in mammals, and a selective type I Interferon receptor agonist inhibits prion invasion and prolongs survival of prionsinfected mice, suggesting potential clinical applications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterisation of radioiodinated flavonoid derivatives for SPECT imaging of cerebral prion deposits.

TL;DR: SPECT/computed tomography imaging and ex vivo autoradiography demonstrated that [123I]SC-OMe showed consistent brain distribution with the presence of PrPSc deposits in the mBSE-infected mice brain, appearing a promising SPECT radioligand for monitoring prion deposit levels in the living brain.
Journal ArticleDOI

A direct assessment of human prion adhered to steel wire using real-time quaking-induced conversion.

TL;DR: A newly developed in vitro amplification system, designated real-time quaking-induced conversion (RT-QuIC), has allowed the activity of abnormal prion proteins to be assessed within a few days, and showed high sensitivity for prions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prion-Seeding Activity Is widely Distributed in Tissues of Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Patients

TL;DR: Results showed thatPrion-seeding activities reach 106/g from a 50% seeding dose in non-neuronal tissues, suggesting that prion- seeding activity exists inNon-neural organs, and it was suggested that non-NEural tissues of106/g SD50 did not exist the infectivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Proteomic approach to profiling immune complex antigens in cerebrospinal fluid samples from patients with central nervous system autoimmune diseases.

TL;DR: This report is the first to comprehensively identify the antigens incorporated into ICs in CSF, and may be a new and promising path to biomarker discovery for diagnosis and study for CNS autoimmune diseases.
