Taking into account the pivotal role played by PrP it is not surprising that many Chapters of this book deal with the purification, the detection and the characterization of the different forms of this protein. In addition, in vitro, cellular and animal models specifically adapted to the study of TSEs, as well as bio-safety procedures are described. Each Chapter is written by scientists involved for many years in their respective domain of prion biology who give the best of their knowledge in this technical do | 出版日期 | Book 2004 | 关键词 | Animal Models; Antibody Production; BSE; CJD; Cell Culture Models; Cytotoxicity; Decontamination; PrP; Purif | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-0348-7949-1 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-7643-2224-3 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-0348-7949-1 | copyright | Springer Basel AG 2004 |
