Immunology of antibody vaccines.

Notes: The PrPSc/antibody complex is too large to intercalate. (A) A mutation in the PRNP gene disrupts two hydrogen bonds between the second β-sheet and second α-helix exposing the SNP6 binding site and enabling the more flexible protein to interact with the receptor. (B) The PrPSc/antibody complex it too large to intercalate with the receptor.

Abbreviation: SNP6, single-nucleotide polymorphism 6.
