1 To validate its use in this assay, this bacterial recombinant PrP has been shown to have the conversion properties of mammalian PrP(C): (i) it converts to a proteinase K-resistant isoform in the presence of PrP(Sc); (ii) the efficiency of this conversion by PrP(Sc) of different strains and species parallels that found in vivo; and (iii) its cell-free conversion is inhibited by Congo Red analogues in a structure-dependent manner similar to that seen in in vivo and in vitro cell assays.
