The Complement System has been shown to facilitate peripheral prion pathogenesis. Mice lacking Complement receptors CD21/35 partially resist terminal prion disease when infected intraperitoneally with mouse-adapted scrapie prions. Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is an emerging prion disease of captive and free-ranging cervid populations that, like scrapie, has been shown to involve the immune system, which probably contributes to their relatively facile horizontal and environmental transmission. Here we show that mice overexpressing the cervid prion protein and susceptible to CWD (Tg(cerPrP)5037 mice) but lack CD21/35 expression completely resist clinical CWD upon peripheral infection. CD21/35 deficient Tg5037 mice exhibit greatly impaired splenic prion accumulation and replication throughout disease, similar to CD21/35 deficient murine PrP mice infected with mouse scrapie. TgA5037;CD21/35-/- mice exhibited little or no neuropathology and deposition of misfolded, protease-resistant PrP associated with CWD. CD21/35 translocates to lipid rafts and mediates a strong germinal center response to prion infection that we propose provides the optimal environment for prion accumulation and replication. We further propose a potential role for CD21/35 in selecting prion quasi-species present in prion strains that may exhibit differential zoonotic potential compared to the parental strains.
