Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is a reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced naturally by the immune system as a defense response to invading pathogens. Recently, we have shown that hypochlorous acid solutions are potent inactivators of prions and I have evidence that human immune cells can inactivate prions through production of HOCl and related compounds. The objectives of my research include investigating how HOCl and ROS species produced in a host can influence prion inactivation and removal following prion infection.
