Amyloid and prions: some biochemical investigations of cerebral amyloidosis in mice.

Abstract:

:Prion-like transmission of protein aggregates or amyloid in several neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease and Alzheimer's disease, in addition to the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (or prion diseases), has been proposed recently. This is a controversial idea and, in this paper, we consider what we mean by a "prion", and by "amyloid", and present some biochemical investigations of cerebral prion amyloidosis in mice.

  • Neuronal autophagy and aggresomes constitute a consistent part of neurodegeneration in experimental scrapie.

    abstract::We describe here a variety of autophagous forms encountered in the terminal stages of two models of scrapie in hamsters. We also show that the number of autophagic vacuoles increased through the incubation period in the 263K strain scrapie model. In addition, we demonstrated for the first time the presence of aggresom...
