SEDITIOUS PROTEIN. “The basic protein that becomes a prion has multiple important normal roles in cells, particularly in immune cells. Also, the immune system is now known to be critical to its spread. A simple protein that has only “self” antigens falls beneath the cracks of the immune surveillance system. In fact, it can create prion crystals in the immune system. Like a virus, it hijacks components of the immune system and rides along with immune cells into the central nervous system.”
