Host prion protein expression levels impact prion tropism for the spleen
Prions are pathogens formed from abnormal conformers (PrP(Sc)) of the host-encoded cellular prion protein (PrP(C)). PrP(Sc) conformation to disease phenotype relationships extensively vary among prion strains. In particular, prions exhibit a strain-dependent tropism for lymphoid tissues. Prions can...
