Test for the potential presence of scrapie PrPSc and any associated infectivity in naturally exposed and/or experimentally challenged ARR/ARR sheep using biochemical and transgenic techniques
Project
Project code: FLI-INNT-02-22
Contract period: 01.10.2005
- 30.09.2008
Purpose of research: Basic research
It is still unclear whether so-called TSE-resistant ARR7ARR sheep are really lacking any susceptibility to BSE and scrapie prions or whether such animals actually become assymptomatic carriers. In this project the potential presence of scrapie PrPSc and any associated infectivity in naturally exposed and/or experimentally challenged ARR/ARR sheep will be tested using biochemical and transgenic techniques.
