Abstract

We have made stable, transfected CHO cell lines capable of high-level expression of murine recPrP. Three main forms are produced and have been purified in the presence or absence of detergents and chaotropic agents. ES-MS has confirmed their identity as full-length (23K), N- terminal (9K) and C- terminal (14K) polypeptides and this technique is currently being developed to study the accessibility and fold of these molecules by deuterium exchange, fluorescence and circular dichroism spectrometry.
