Project Details
Key findings
-Demonstrated for the first time that follicular dendritic cells alone are the important sites of TSE agent accumulation in lymphoid tissues.
-Demonstrated for the first time that the specific ablation of PrPC expression only on FDC blocked TSE agent accumulation in lymphoid tissues and subsequent neuroinvasion.
