Bovine spongiform encephalopathy agent in a prion protein (PrP)ARR/ARR genotype sheep after peripheral challenge: complete immunohistochemical analysis of disease-associated PrP and transmission studies to ovine-transgenic mice.

Abstract excerpt

Possible transmission of the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) agent to ovine species has been considered for several years. It has been recently demonstrated that the BSE agent, after intracerebral challenge, can infect sheep believed to be the most resistant genetically to prion diseases (prion protein [PrP](ARR/ARR) genotype). We report here the results of a detailed immunohistochemical analysis of the...
