Tissue plasminogen activator in brain tissues infected with transmissible spongiform encephalopathies
Prion propagation involves conversion of host PrPC to a disease-related isoform, PrPSc, which accumulates during disease and is the principal component of the transmissible agent. Proteolysis seems to play an important role in PrP metabolism. Plasminogen, a serine protease precursor, has been shown...
