Abstract excerpt
The central role for PrP in the pathogenesis of the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) is illustrated by the resistance of Prnp(0/0) mice to disease and by the inverse association of Prnp gene dosage with incubation period. Understanding the role of PrP(C) in TSEs necessitates knowledge of expression levels of the Prnp gene during the development of disease. SSBP/1 scrapie shows a defined pattern of...
