Infectious prions traverse epithelial barriers to gain access to the circulatory system, yet the temporal parameters of transepithelial transport and persistence in the blood over time remain unknown. We used whole-blood real-time quaking-induced conversion (wbRT-QuIC) to analyze whole blood collected from transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE)-inoculated deer and hamsters throughout the incubation period for the presence of common prion protein-conversion competent amyloid (PrPCCCA). We observed PrPC-CCA in the blood of TSE-inoculated hosts throughout the disease course from minutes postexposure to terminal disease.
传染性朊病毒穿过上皮屏障进入循环系统,但跨上皮运输的时间参数以及其在血液中的长期存在情况仍不清楚。我们使用全血实时颤抖诱导转化(wbRT-QuIC)技术,分析了在整个潜伏期从感染传染性海绵状脑病(TSE)的鹿和仓鼠采集的全血,以检测常见朊病毒蛋白转化活性淀粉样蛋白(PrPCCCA)的存在。我们观察到,在TSE感染宿主的血液中,从暴露后几分钟到疾病末期的整个病程中都存在PrPC-CCA。
