Structural evidence for the critical role of the prion protein hydrophobic region in forming an infectious prion. by Romany Abskharon, Fei Wang, Alexandre Wohlkonig, Juxin Ruan, Sameh Soror, Gabriele Giachin, Els Pardon, Wenquan Zou, Giuseppe Legname, Jiyan Ma, Jan Steyaert

“…In addition, when added to cultured mouse brain slices in high concentrations, Nb484 exhibits no neurotoxicity, which is drastically different from other neurotoxic anti-PrP antibodies, suggesting that the Nb484 can be a potential therapeutic agent against prion disease. In summary, our data provides the first structure-function evidence supporting a crucial role of the hydrophobic region of PrP in forming an infectious prion.…”
