  1. High CJD infectivity remains after the prion protein is destroyed By Sylvester Gates

  2. High CJD infectivity remains after prion protein is destroyed (2011) - KohtaroMiyazawa, Kaitlin Emmerlingand Laura Manuelidis • Goals: • Determine if infectivity is linked to PrP load. Infectivity decreases as direct proportion to decrease of PrP with proteinase K. • Experiments: • Mouse passaged FU-CJD • PrP Protease digestion (Keratinase = NAP and proteinase K = PK) at different concentrations of Tx100 (detergent) http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jcb.23286/full

  3. High CJD infectivity remains after prion protein is destroyed (2011) - KohtaroMiyazawa, Kaitlin EmmerlingandLauraManuelidis • Tested NAP effectiveness under specific conditions • Digestion of FU-CJD brain with NAP • Ln5&6 NAP digestion • Ln7 under PK digestion – reveals max PrP-res

  4. High CJD infectivity remains after prion protein is destroyed (2011) - KohtaroMiyazawa, Kaitlin EmmerlingandLauraManuelidis 99.5% digested 99.8% digested 95.5% digested • PrP takes longer to digest in cells

  5. High CJD infectivity remains after prion protein is destroyed (2011) - KohtaroMiyazawa, Kaitlin EmmerlingandLauraManuelidis Tissue Culture Infectious Dose

  6. High CJD infectivity remains after prion protein is destroyed (2011) - KohtaroMiyazawa, Kaitlin EmmerlingandLauraManuelidis Tissue Culture Infectious Dose 2hrs 2hrs • PK at 6 and 8 hrs only yield <2 log reduction • NAP reduced infectious dosage by >3.5 logs

  7. High CJD infectivity remains after prion protein is destroyed (2011) - KohtaroMiyazawa, Kaitlin EmmerlingandLauraManuelidis 99.8% digested 97.9% digested 99.5% digested in 10x • Showed no loss of infectivity after virtually complete PK digestion of PrP • Suggests PrP-res regenerates to normal levels after p13

  8. High CJD infectivity remains after prion protein is destroyed (2011) - KohtaroMiyazawa, Kaitlin EmmerlingandLauraManuelidis • “Virtually complete digestion of all PrP with preservation of infectivity lead… to the conclusion that no form of prion protein is infectious” • PrP-res levels climb back up to normal even after PrP digestion by • PK digestion left ≤0.3% PrP after 2hr, yet there was no reduction in titer. • NAP digestion left 0.8% residual PrP after 2hr, yet decreased titer by >2.5logs • “GdnSCN… shown to reduce infectivity by >4logs in brain [Manuelidis, 1997], practical and complete sterilization of precious instruments should be further effected by a subsequent digestion with NAP, and probably other keratinases.”

  9. Exposure of RML scrapie agent to a sodium percarbonate-based product and sodium dodecyl sulfate renders PrPSc protease sensitive but does not eliminate infectivity(2012) - Jodi D Smith, Eric M Nicholson, Gregory H Foster and Justin J Greenlee • Goals: • Evaluate effectiveness of a commercial product containing sodium percarbonate to inactivate prions. • Experiments: • Mouse brain with mouse-adapted scrapie agent (RML) • Exposed to sodium percarbonate-based product (SPC-P). • Western blots to test immunoreactivity for abnormal prion protein • Residual infectivity tested by mouse bioassay

Exposure of RML scrapie agent to a sodium percarbonate-based product and sodium dodecyl sulfate renders PrPSc protease sensitive but does not eliminate infectivity(2012) - Jodi D Smith, Eric M Nicholson, Gregory H Foster and Justin J Greenlee 2.5% SDS Ladder RML +ctrl 30 min 90 min 180 min http://www.biomedcentral.com/1746-6148/9/8

  11. Exposure of RML scrapie agent to a sodium percarbonate-based product and sodium dodecyl sulfate renders PrPSc protease sensitive but does not eliminate infectivity(2012) - Jodi D Smith, Eric M Nicholson, Gregory H Foster and Justin J Greenlee Brain treatment with 0.35 M sodium hydrogen phosphate buffered solution • PrPSc undetectable after PK digestion ladder ctrl 30m 90m 180m ladder ctrl 30m 90m 180m

  12. Exposure of RML scrapie agent to a sodium percarbonate-based product and sodium dodecyl sulfate renders PrPSc protease sensitive but does not eliminate infectivity(2012) - Jodi D Smith, Eric M Nicholson, Gregory H Foster and Justin J Greenlee Avg. survival time RML ctrl

  13. Exposure of RML scrapie agent to a sodium percarbonate-based product and sodium dodecyl sulfate renders PrPSc protease sensitive but does not eliminate infectivity(2012) - Jodi D Smith, Eric M Nicholson, Gregory H Foster and Justin J Greenlee • Exposure of RML (scrapie agent) to an SPC-containing product alone or in combination with SDS does not eliminate prion infectivity • Small effect of SPC-P alone, but an 2–3 log10 reduction observed with the addition of SDS • exposure to SDS alone resulted in an approximate 2 log10 reduction.

  14. BSE infectivity in the absence of detectable PrPSc accumulation in the tongue and nasal mucosa of terminally diseased cattle(2010) - Anne Balkema-Buschmann, Martin Eiden, Christine Hoffmann, Martin Kaatz, Ute Ziegler, Markus Keller and Martin H. Groschup • “Challenged transgenic mice overexpressing the bovine prion protein with homogenates prepared from a wide variety of tissue samples collected from BSE-infected cattle” • Various detection methods: purification, immunohistochemistry, and the protein misfolding cyclic amplification technique http://vir.sgmjournals.org/content/92/2/467.full

Groschup • Detect BSE infectivity in tongue and nasal mucosa of terminally diseased BSE cases as well as experimentally challenged cattle by transgenic-mouse bioassay. • This shows that BSE infectivity can be present in the peripheral tissues. http://vir.sgmjournals.org/content/92/2/467.full
