Enhanced susceptibility of T lymphocytes to oxidative stress in the absence of the cellular prion protein

The cellular prion glycoprotein (PrPC) is ubiquitously expressed but its physiologic functions remain enigmatic, particularly in the immune system. Here, we demonstrate in vitro and in vivo that PrPC is involved in T lymphocytes response to oxidative stress. By monitoring the intracellular level of...
