Development of a new largely scalable in vitro prion propagation method for the production of infectious recombinant prions for high resolution structural studies.

The resolution of the three-dimensional structure of infectious prions at the atomic level is pivotal to understand the pathobiology of Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSE), but has been long hindered due to certain particularities of these proteinaceous pathogens. Difficulties related to...
