Prions are comprised solely of PrP(Sc), the misfolded self-propagating conformation of the cellular protein, PrP(C). Synthetic prions are generated in vitro from minimal components and cause bona fide prion disease in animals. It is unknown, however, if synthetic prions can cross the species barrier...
