immune system
N |
• mice exhibit normal secondary lymphoid tissue formation
|
• impaired chemotaxis toward CXCL13 in conventional dendritic cell
|
• marginal reduction in the follicle dendritic cells in the spleen
|
• following oral administration of scrapie prion proteins, mice exhibit reduced follicular dendritic cell-associated accumulation of prion protein in the spleen compared with control mice
• splenectomy before oral prion exposure does not alter susceptibility
• however, prion disease susceptibility is normal when infection is established directly within the CNS
