The cellular prion protein, encoded by the gene Prnp, has been reported to be a receptor of β-amyloid. Their interaction is mandatory for neurotoxic effects β-amyloid oligomers. In this study, we aimed explore whether protein participates in spreading α-synuclein. Results demonstrate that Prnp expression not α-synuclein spreading. However, although pathological can take place absence expanded faster PrPC-overexpressing mice. addition, binds strongly on PrPC-expressing cells, suggesting role...

The term 'prion-like' is used to define some misfolded protein species that propagate intercellularly, triggering aggregation in recipient cells. For cell binding, both direct plasma membrane interaction and receptors have been described for particular amyloids. In this respect, emerging evidence demonstrates several β-sheet enriched proteins can bind the cellular prion (PrPC). Among other interactions, physiological relevance of binding between β-amyloid PrPC has a relevant focus numerous...

Reelin is an extracellular glycoprotein that modulates neuronal function and synaptic plasticity in the adult brain. Decreased levels of activity have been postulated as a key factor during neurodegeneration Alzheimer’s disease (AD) aging. Thus, changes full-length fragments revealed cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) post-mortem brains samples AD patients with respect to non-AD patients. However, conflicting studies reported decreased or unchanged compared control (nND) cases CSF samples. In...

Neurocysticercosis (NCC), and cystic echinococcosis (CE) are two neglected diseases caused by cestodes, co-endemic in many areas of the world. Imaging studies serological tests used diagnosis both parasitic diseases, but cross-reactions may confound results latter. The novel multiplex bead-based assay with recombinant antigens has been reported to increases diagnostic accuracy techniques. We set-up an immunoassay based on platform (MBA), using rT24H (against Cysticercus cellulosae, causing...
