Neurotropic influenza A virus infection causes prion protein misfolding into infectious prions in neuroblastoma cells
Abstract Misfolding of the cellular prion protein, PrPC, into the amyloidogenic isoform, PrPSc, which forms infectious protein aggregates, the so-called prions, is a key pathogenic event in prion diseases. No pathogens other than prions have been identified to induce misfolding of PrPC into PrPSc an...
