Peterson, Karin Race, Brent Chesebro, Bruce Prion Strain Differences in Accumulation of PrPSc on Neurons and Glia Are Associated with Similar Expression Profiles of Neuroinflammatory Genes: Comparison of Three Prion Strains - Fig 1 <p><b>Detection of PrPSc by immunohistochemistry using monoclonal antibody D13 in thalamus at 40 and 60 days post-infection by microinjection with scrapie strains 22L (A,B), RML (C,D), or ME7 (E,F).</b> (A) For strain 22L, at 40 dpi several areas of PrPSc deposition around apparent individual cells (arrow) and around blood vessels (arrowhead) were noted in dorsomedial (DM) region of the thalamus on the ipsilateral side. (B) At 60 dpi PrPSc was detected in the same areas but was more abundant than in (A). (C) After infection with RML, at 40 dpi small amounts of finely punctate PrPSc was barely visible (arrows) in clusters around large nuclei, but with magnification (inset) was easily seen in DM thalamus on ipsilateral side (arrows). (D) In contrast, at 60 dpi RML PrPSc deposits were widespread in DM thalamus (arrows) and were often on blood vessels (arrowhead), or in neuropil spaces between cells (zoom on figure to see details). (E) After ME7 infection, no PrPSc was seen in thalamus at 40 dpi, but a small amount of linear (axonal) punctate PrPSc was observed in the ipsilateral substantia nigra (inset, arrow). (F) At 60 dpi ME7 coarsely punctate PrPSc was noted in DM thalamus as amorphous aggregates of varying size (arrow). Occasional perineuronal PrPSc was also seen (arrowheads, zoom to see details). The area of ME7 PrPSc deposition was smaller than that for strains 22L and RML at this same time. Scale bar shown in panel A is 400 micrometers and applies to all panels.</p> polytropic Friend retrovirus;Strain 22 L;upregulated genes;misfolded protein increases;Prion Strains Misfolding;prion diseases;mouse scrapie strains;Similar Expression Profiles;host prion protein;Prion Strain Differences;RML;cell specificity;PrPSc accumulation;CNS 2016-04-05
