Abstract excerpt
Relationships between insertion/deletion (Ins/Del) polymorphisms of the bovine prion protein gene (PRNP) promoter and bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) susceptibility have been reported. Our previous study has shown that polymorphisms of -6C-->T included in the specific protein 1 (Sp1) site in the 5'-flanking region of bovine PRNP influence the promoter activity of bovine PRNP. The present study shows that...
