Sequestration of free cholesterol in cell membranes by prions correlates with cytoplasmic phospholipase A(2 )activation
BACKGROUND: The transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), otherwise known as the prion diseases, occur following the conversion of the normal cellular prion protein (PrP(C)) to an alternatively folded isoform (PrP(Sc)).
