Abstract excerpt
Brains affected by the progressive neurological disease bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) contain scrapie-associated fibrils and the protease-resistant isoform of prion protein. The gene encoding the normal host prion protein (PRNP) has been mapped to human chromosome 20 and mouse chromosome 2 with the hamster cDNA probe pEA974. Using this probe and a panel of bovine-rodent hybrid somatic cells, we have...
