I just heard a National Public Radio piece on prion diseases.

I learned a lot.

First I had no idea it was a protein misfolding (alpha to beta) disease (as I always thought prions were a form of viruses), and secondly when the protein combines with other normal proteins, the normal proteins are twisted out of there alph configuation to become beta sheets. How fascinating!

My question is this. If I were injected with an extract from a cow that was known to have Mad Cow Disease, would this prion disease be passed to my children (assuming I had no previous genetic defect predisoposing me to prion diseases), or would it end with me, dispite the fact that I fathered children while I was carried the prion.

This wasn't made clear to me in the NPR piece, which really dealt with a predisposing prion disease.

Thanks for your thoughtfull responses!!

p.s. I always respond to the best answer.

About ten or twenty years ago the news was full of ice balls striking the earth. Then it was changed to fluffy ice balls. It was reported pilots saw frequent flashes of light in the stratosphere which someone inferred were the ice balls. No further recent news of the sort. But if it is true there should be water on every planet in the universe. No? And what happened to the subject?
