Classical scrapie prions are associated with peripheral blood monocytes and T-lymphocytes from naturally infected sheep
2016
Background
Classical scrapie is a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) that affects sheep and goats. Our previous bioassay studies in lambs revealed that scrapie prions could be detected in association with peripheral blood monocular cells (PBMC), B lymphocytes and platelet-rich plasma fractions. In the present study, bioassay in lambs was again used to determine if scrapie prions are associated with the other two subsets of PBMC, monocytes and T lymphocytes.
