PrPSc binding antibodies are potent inhibitors of prion replication in cell lines

Abstract:

Conversion of the cellular α-helical prion protein (PrPC) into a disease-associated isoform (PrPSc) is central to the pathogenesis of prion diseases. Molecules targeting either normal or disease-associated isoforms may be of therapeutic interest, and the antibodies binding PrPC have been shown to inhibit prion accumulation in vitro. Here we investigate whether antibodies that additionally target disease-associated isoforms such as PrPSc inhibit prion replication in ovine PrP-inducible scrapie...
