Experimental Treatment of a Prion Protein Infection

Experimental Treatment of a Prion Protein Infection
Previous Image | Next Image
Description: Neural death was prevented and early spongiosis was reversed in scrapie-infected mice after a genetically engineered enzyme began to destroy PrPc at twelve weeks of age. Arrows point to degenerating neurons in mice without the prion-destroying enzyme. Spongiosis is seen as holes in the brain tissue. (From Mallucci, G., Dickinson, A., Linehan, J., et al.
