prion
A protein that has the ability to cause the cells that it invades to repeatedly duplicate it. Prions are responsible for causing Mad Cow Disease. Apparently, prions are not effectively attacked by their host's immune system nor can they be killed with existing antibiotics, extreme heat, cold, or other normally lethal conditions. The word prion comes from "proteinaceous infectious particle. "
