Abstract

The ability of enriched membrane subsets and detergent-solubilized membrane preparations were investigated to support PrPres amplification. The observation that detergent-solubilized preparations containing PrPc but lacking membranes supported the PrPres amplification, which indicated that intact lipid membranes were not essential for efficient PrP conversion.
