Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To develop new and improved tests to detect alleles at codons 136 and 171 of the ovine prion protein locus and to evaluate the frequency of these alleles. ANIMALS: 159 Suffolk sheep belonging to 3 flocks. PROCEDURE: Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis that contained diagnostic restriction site variation for each allele were developed for the relevant gene regions. Alleles were determined by...
