متن کاملRetrograde transport of transmissible mink encephalopathy within descending motor tracts.
The spread of the abnormal conformation of the prion protein, PrP(Sc), within the spinal cord is central to the pathogenesis of transmissible prion diseases, but the mechanism of transport has not been determined. For this report, the route of transport of the HY strain of transmissible mink encephalopathy (TME), a prion disease of mink, in the central nervous system following unilateral inocul...
