description:
The peptide sequence is invariant in hamster, human and bovine PrP.
Reactivity of Fab R72 to the epitope was determined by binding to overlapping 15-mer peptides representing Syrian hamster (SHa) PrP 90-231 or phage displayed protein fragment libraries of mouse PrP. Fab R72 reacts strongly with either mouse or hamster PrP. Binding of R72 to PrP 90-231 is inhibited 50% by 1.9 µM PrP (152-163) or 7.8 µM PrP (154-163), but is not inhibited by ShaPrP 90-231 in solution. Fab R72 reacts with prion rods containing mouse PrP 27-30 after treatment with denaturant and with cryostat sections of scrapie-infected mouse or hamster brains treated with denaturant.
