Full restoration of specific infectivity and strain properties from pure mammalian prion protein
The protein-only hypothesis predicts that infectious mammalian prions are composed solely of PrP(Sc), a misfolded conformer of the normal prion protein, PrP(C). However, protein-only PrP(Sc) preparations lack significant levels of prion infectivity, leading to the alternative hypothesis that cofacto...
