Biological and Biochemical Characterization of Mice Expressing Prion Protein Devoid of the Octapeptide Repeat Region after Infection with Prions

Accumulating lines of evidence indicate that the N-terminal domain of prion protein (PrP) is involved in prion susceptibility in mice. In this study, to investigate the role of the octapeptide repeat (OR) region alone in the N-terminal domain for the susceptibility and pathogenesis of prion disease,...
