Use 'cycAnnot:externalID' for unambiguously referring to a concept across OWL exports or across Cyc inference engines. prion Prion The collection of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvs4V4ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Prion</a>s (proteinaceous infective particles). Suggested as the causative agents of several infectious diseases such as scrapie (in sheep), kuru and Creutzfeld Jakob disease in man. Apparently contain no nucleic acid. The 27 kD protein of scrapie is related to a normal cell protein and may possibly cause its over production. prions Prion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prion prion Prion The collection of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvs4V4ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Prion</a>s (proteinaceous infective particles).
