Independent amplification of co-infected long incubation period low conversion efficiency prion strains

Prion diseases are caused by a misfolded isoform of the prion protein, PrP(Sc). Prion strains are hypothesized to be encoded by strain-specific conformations of PrP(Sc) and prions can interfere with each other when a long-incubation period strain (i.e. blocking strain) inhibits the conversion of a s...
