The Structural Basis of Prion Disease Susceptibility and the Transmission Barrier

When prions are transmitted between species, there can be a delay in pathogenesis due to a phenomenon referred to as the transmission barrier. Some species also show very low susceptibility to prion disease. In this study I hypothesized that the susceptibility of species to prion disease is propor...
