Transgenic Mouse Bioassay : Evidence That Rabbits Are Susceptible to a Variety of Prion Isolates [PDF]

, 2015
Interspecies transmission of prions is a well-established phenomenon, both experimentally and under field conditions. Upon passage through new hosts, prion strains have proven their capacity to change their properties and this is a source of strain ...

A quantitative assessment of the prion risk associated with wastewater from carcase-handling facilities [PDF]

, 2013
Wastewater from facilities processing livestock that may harbor transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) infectivity is permitted under license for application to land where susceptible livestock may have access. Several previous risk assessments

Human α2β1HI CD133+VE epithelial prostate stem cells express low levels of active androgen receptor [PDF]

, 2012
Stem cells are thought to be the cell of origin in malignant transformation in many tissues, but their role in human prostate carcinogenesis continues to be debated.

Sheep Feed and Scrapie, France

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2005
Scrapie is a small ruminant, transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE). Although in the past scrapie has not been considered a zoonosis, the emergence of bovine spongiform encephalopathy, transmissible to humans and experimentally to sheep, indicates

Molecular Typing of Protease-Resistant Prion Protein in Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies of Small Ruminants, France, 2002–2009

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2011
The agent that causes bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) may be infecting small ruminants, which could have serious implications for human health. To distinguish BSE from scrapie and to examine the molecular characteristics of the protease-resistant ...

Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy Infectivity in Greater Kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros)

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2004
Of all the species exposed naturally to the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) agent, the greater kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros), a nondomesticated bovine from Africa, appears to be the most susceptible to the disease.

In vitro amplification of H-type atypical bovine spongiform encephalopathy by protein misfolding cyclic amplification [PDF]

, 2016
The in vitro amplification of prions by serial protein misfolding cyclic amplification has been shown to detect PrPSc to levels at least as sensitive as rodent bioassay but in a fraction of the time.

Rapid Typing of Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy Strains with Differential ELISA

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008
The bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) agent has been transmitted to humans, leading to variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Sheep and goats can be experimentally infected by BSE and have been potentially exposed to natural BSE; however, whether BSE ...
