Distinct patterns of spread of prion infection in brains of mice expressing anchorless or anchored forms of prion protein

BACKGROUND: In humans and animals, prion protein (PrP) is usually expressed as a glycophosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored membrane protein, but anchorless PrP may be pathogenic in humans with certain familial prion diseases. Anchored PrP expressed on neurons mediates spread of prions along axons in...
