Prion Diseases and the Gastrointestinal Tract by Gwynivere A Davies, Adam R Bryant, John D Reynolds, Frank R Jirik, Keith A Sharkey

“…Alhough they are known to be caused by the conversion of normal cellular prion protein to its infectious conformational isoform (PrPsc) the process by which this isoform is propagated and transported to the brain remains poorly understood. M cells, dendritic cells and possibly enteroendocrine cells are important in the movement of infectious prions across the GI epithelium. …”
