Application

Application Comment Organism
pharmacology In human variant Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease, up to 90% of total prion protein present in the brain resists degradation with thermolysin, whereas only ?15% of this material resists digestion by proteinase K. Detection of proteinase K-sensitive isoforms of disease-related prion protein using thermolysin should be useful for improving diagnostic sensitivity in human prion diseases Parengyodontium album

prion protein + H2O for mouse RML prions, the majority of proteinase K-sensitive disease-related prion protein isoforms do not appear to contribute significantly to infectivity. In human variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, up to 90% of total prion protein present in the brain resists degradation with thermolysin, whereas only 15% of this material resists digestion by proteinase K Parengyodontium album ?
