Recombinant Prion Protein Refolded with Lipid and RNA Has the Biochemical Hallmarks of a Prion but Lacks In Vivo Infectivity

During prion infection, the normal, protease-sensitive conformation of prion protein (PrP(C)) is converted via seeded polymerization to an abnormal, infectious conformation with greatly increased protease-resistance (PrP(Sc)). In vitro, protein misfolding cyclic amplification (PMCA) uses PrP(Sc) in...
