摘要：

Direct interactions between the normal and aberrant forms of prion protein appear to be crucial in the transmission and pathogenesis of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) or prion diseases. Recent studies of such interactions in vitro have provided mechanistic insight into how TSE-associated prion protein might promote its own propagation in a man ner that is specific enough to account, at least in part, for TSE strains and species barriers.
