Mouse-Hamster Chimeric Prion Protein (PrP) Devoid of N-Terminal Residues 23-88 Restores Susceptibility to 22L Prions, but Not to RML Prions in PrP-Knockout Mice

Prion infection induces conformational conversion of the normal prion protein PrP(C), into the pathogenic isoform PrP(Sc), in prion diseases. It has been shown that PrP-knockout (Prnp(0/0)) mice transgenically reconstituted with a mouse-hamster chimeric PrP lacking N-terminal residues 23-88, or Tg(M...
