Ultra-efficient PrP(Sc) amplification highlights potentialities and pitfalls of PMCA technology.
In order to investigate the potential of voles to reproduce in vitro the efficiency of prion replication previously observed in vivo, we seeded protein misfolding cyclic amplification (PMCA) reactions with either rodent-adapted Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy (TSE) strains or natural TSE iso...
