摘要: Prion diseases are transmissible neurodegenerative disorders of mammalian species and include scrapie, bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD). The prion protein (PrP) plays a key role in the disease, with coding polymorphism both human mouse influencing susceptibility incubation time, respectively. Other genes also thought to be important plausible candidate is Sprn, which encodes PrP-like Shadoo (Sho). Sho expressed adult central nervous system exhibits neuroprotective activity reminiscent PrP an vitro assay. To investigate Sprn time we sequenced open reading frame (ORF) diverse panel mice saw little variation except strains derived from wild-trapped mice. Sequencing untranslated regions revealed polymorphisms that allowed us carry out association study period Northport heterogeneous stock inoculated Chandler/RML prions. We examined expression level mRNA brains normal prion-infected no correlation either genotype or time. therefore conclude does not play major these
