Over the next 15 years, Prusiner won over virtually everyone to his prion hypothesis--the lay press, the scientific press--but not the researchers in his field.
Prusiner has yet to show, for instance, that a protein sans nucleic acid can be infectious, and consequently, he has invoked the potential involvement of yet another agent in the disease process (although he insists it has no nucleic acid and calls it "Protein X").
When he finally published his proof-of-prion paper, it was only after it had been rejected by the journal Cell . Prusiner managed to find a home for it in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science , where it wouldn't have to be peer-reviewed.
In 1991, Prusiner reported at a major conference that he had proved that the infectious agents of these diseases were proteins free of nucleic acids.
Although Prusiner's work had not been replicated by anyone and he had still not published these supposedly seminal findings that prions cause disease in a peer-reviewed journal, he won the prestigious Albert Lasker Award in October 1994.
