β-PrP form of human prion protein stimulates production of monoclonal antibodies to epitope 91–110 that recognise native PrPSc
- Abstract:
-
Prion diseases are associated with accumulation of strain-dependent biochemically distinct, disease-related isoforms (PrPSc) of host-encoded prion protein (PrPC). PrPSc is characterised by increased β-sheet content, detergent insolubility and protease resistance. Recombinant α-PrP adopts a PrPC-like conformation, while β-PrP conformationally resembles PrPSc, to these we raised 81 monoclonal antibodies in Prnp0/0 mice. The N-terminal residues 91–110 are highly immunogenic in β-PrP-immunised mi...
