Allelic Interference in Prion Replication Is Modulated by the Convertibility of the Interfering PrP <sup>C</sup> and Other Host-Specific Factors

Prion propagation can be interfered with by the expression of a second prion protein in the host. In the present study, we investigated prion propagation in a host expressing two different prion protein genes.
