Possible origin of the scrapie genome in small endogenous RNAs; studies on eight candidate species in 263K scrapie-infected hamster brain

2019-04-26

Abstract excerpt

<h4>SUMMARY</h4> The identity of the etiologic agent of the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), including bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), scrapie and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), remains unknown. While much attention has been given to the hypothesis that the TSEs may be caused by a proteinaceous infectious agent or ‘prion’, there is considerable evidence to suggest that this hypothesis i...
