| Description |
Prions are small particles that are filterable to an average pore diameter of 100 nm. Their main and perhaps only component is a protein; despite their infectious propensity, they do not contain nucleic acid. Prion proteins exist in two forms: a native, nonpathologic form, designated PrPC (""cellular""), and a pathologic form, designated PrPSc (""scrapie""), PrPCJD (Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease), or PrPres (""resistant""). |
