A member asked:
In creutzfeldt jacob disease (cjd) and/or new variant cjd, is the classical/alternate complement pathway negatively affected in any way?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: There's no inflammatory response to the prions. Given that everything affects everything else in a petri dish (which is why everything supposedly causes and prevents cancer), i must advise you that this line of inquiry isn't going to lead to anything helpful. I'm glad you have an inquiring mind, thanks for asking.
