There have never been enough concerns to be worth to develop a vaccine for a prion, and current used techniques are those for being efficient for their targets, but as far as I know prions are just proteins and proteins can be (and are) targeted, the whole immunitarie system often relies on those…

TheFeatureCreature@lemmy.ca 1 day agoPrions are absolutely wild. There is no cure, no “vaccine” - not that that would even be possible because they’re not viruses, bacteria, or even living things from outside your body. They’re just a faulty version of something that already exists in your system and they make your body self-destruct.

Prions™: not a virus

Prime horror movie material.
You trust your body. You trust your mind. But what if the enemy… is already inside you?
They’re not viruses. They’re not bacteria. They’re your own proteins… twisted. Hungry.
They hide in the folds of your brain. They wait in the silence of your cells. And when they strike… you won’t even know you’re already lost.
