Scrapie-infected GT1-1 cells show impaired function of voltage-gated N-type calcium channels (Cav 2.2) which is ameliorated by quinacrine treatment

Prions are transmissible pathogens that cause neurodegenerative diseases, although the mechanisms behind the nervous system dysfunctions are unclear. To study the effects of a prion infection on voltage-gated calcium channels, scrapie-infected gonadotropin-releasing hormone neuronal cells (ScGT1-1)...
