Ch 19: The Prion Hypothesis as put forth by Dr. Stanley Prusiner states that cooking beef or lamb infected with prion proteins will destroy the prions, making the meat safe to eat. Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies result from the conversion of normal PrP-c to an abnormally folded PrP-sc state. Mad cow disease is caused by eating beef tainted with prion proteins. Kuru, a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy in humans, can be caused by the religious practice of ritual cannibalism. Prion particles infect cells of the brain and redirect the ribosomes to replicate new prions in neurons responsible for memory.
