Aggravation of ischemic brain injury by prion protein deficiency: Role of ERK-1/-2 and STAT-1

Aggravation of ischemic brain injury by prion protein deficiency: Role of ERK-1/-2 and STAT-1

The cellular isoform of prion protein, PrPc, may confer neuroprotection in the brain, according to recent studies. To elucidate the role of PrPc in stroke pathology, we subjected PrPc-knockout (Prnp0/0), wild-type and PrPc-transgenic (tga20) mice to 30 min of intraluminal middle cerebral artery occl...
