From: Ultraviolet-ozone treatment reduces levels of disease-associated prion protein and prion infectivity
UV-ozone treatment decreases carbon and PrPTSE levels. (a) Total (organic and inorganic) carbon was measured following 0, 1, 2, 4 or 8 weeks of UV-ozone treatment. Bars represent means ± one standard deviation; numerical values above bars indicate the mean mass of carbon remaining in μg. Experiment is representative of two independent replicates. (b) Immunoblot analysis of prion protein following ozone ashing for the indicated time period. Hyper-infected brain homogenate (HY BH) and HY BH treated with 50 μg·mL-1 proteinase K (PK) demonstrate the presence of PrPTSE before ashing. Immunoblot used anti-prion protein antibody 3F4.
