Background: The monoclonal antibody 1.5D7 recognizes the disease associated isoform of the prion protein Sc termed PrP . Prion diseases, also known as spongiform encephalopathies, are a group of neurodegenerative diseases that include BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy) in cattle, scrapie in sheep and CJD (Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease) in humans. The normal cellular form of the prion C protein is denoted as PrP and is a constitutively expressed glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchored C protein that has been shown to play a role in myelin formation. PrP has an unstructured N-terminal part and a C-terminal part consisting of three α -helices and two short β strands. Refolding of the Sc normal prion protein results in PrP , which has a tightly packed C-terminal part enriched in beta sheets which is insoluble and resistant to digestion by proteases. Prion diseases are characterized by Sc the deposition of highly structured aggregates of PrP , astrocytosis, neuronal cell death and spongiform structures in the brain. These diseases can be sporadically (unknown cause), be inherited due to polymorphisms or mutations in the prion protein gene or be transmitted by an infectious particle Sc Sc which is believed to consist of PrP only. In order to study prion diseases the detection of PrP and the ability to discriminate between the normal and disease associated PrP is of pivotal importance. The monoclonal antibody 1.5D7 can be used for the specific identification and characterization of Sc PrP in tissue sections by immunohistochemistry and PET-blot.
