摘要: Prion diseases are neurodegenerative conditions that cause extensive damage to nerve cells within the brain and can be fatal. Some prion disease agents accumulate first in lymphoid tissues, as they make their journey from site of infection, such gut, brain. Studies mouse models have shown this accumulation is obligatory for efficient delivery prions Indeed, if tissues blocked, susceptibility reduced. Therefore, identification molecules involved might identify targets therapeutic intervention. This review describes current understanding mechanisms
