Alkylating antitumor drug mechlorethamine conceals a structured PrP domain and inhibits in vitro prion amplification.
description:
The effect of alkylating antitumor drugs (mechlorethamine, doxorubicin, and streptozotocin) on the antibody accessibility of PrP epitopes that could be involved in the conversion of PrPc to PrPSc was examined. After treatment with different amounts of the drugs in the presence of the reducing reagent TBP, the antisera detected PrP in normal human brain homogenates.
