Abstract
Congo red inhibits the accumulation of protease-resistant PrP in scrapie-infected mouse neuroblastoma cells. Here we show that Congo red also inhibits the replication of scrapie infectivity in these cells. This observation is consistent with the idea that protease-resistant PrP is a vital component of the scrapie agent or that agent replication depends on the presence of protease-resistant PrP in the cell.Entities:
