Info

Nature of the prion The prion is the minimum required infectious agent able to convert normal cellular prion protein Prp C into the scrapie PrP sc . Is the prion a virus? NO, the prion is not a virus, as RNA and DNA material are totally absent in its composition, and the minimal molecular weight necessary for infectivity is ~2x10 5 Da, so small to exclude the size of a virus. Is the prion proteinaceous material? YES
The “unfortunate” goal of CDJ disease is to convert normal cellular prion protein PrP C into the scrapie form PrP sc . This will result in 1-reduction of the form with α-sheet conformation 2-accumulation of the form with β-sheet conformation, which will form aggregates and deposit both at an intracellular and extracellular level.
