Identification of the prion-related protein gene (PRNT) sequences in various species of the Cervidae family

Molecular Biology Reports, 2020
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is caused by abnormal deleterious prion protein (PrPSc), and transmissible spongiform encephalopathy occurs in the Cervidae family. In recent studies, the susceptibility of prion disease has been affected by polymorphisms of the prion gene family. However, the study of the prion-related protein gene (PRNT) is rare, and the

Comparison of the PRNT and an immune fluorescence assay in yellow fever vaccinees receiving immunosuppressive medication

Vaccine, 2016
The 17D-yellow fever (YF) vaccination is considered contraindicated in immune-compromised patients; however, accidental vaccination occurs. In this population, measuring the immune response is useful in clinical practice.In this study we compare two antibody tests (the Immune Fluorescence Assay and the Plaque Reduction Neutralization Test) in a group ...

First report of prion‐related protein gene ( PRNT ) polymorphisms in cattle

Veterinary Record, 2018
Prion diseases are caused by structural changes in normal prion protein (PrPC). The prion gene family includes four members: prion protein (PRNP), prion-like protein (PRND), shadow of PRNP (SPRN) and prion-related protein (PRNT).

The prion‐related protein (testis‐specific) gene (PRNT) is highly polymorphic in Portuguese sheep

Animal Genetics, 2016
SummaryThe objective of this study was to search for polymorphisms in the ovine prion‐related protein (testis‐specific) gene (PRNT). Sampling included 567 sheep from eight Portuguese breeds. The PRNT gene‐coding region was analyzed by single‐strand conformation polymorphism and sequencing, allowing the identification of the first ovine PRNT ...

Comparison of plaque reduction neutralisation test (PRNT) and measles virus-specific IgG ELISA for assessing immunogenicity of measles vaccination

Vaccine, 2008
Plaque reduction neutralisation test (PRNT) is a gold standard assay for measles antibodies. PRNT, however, is time-consuming and more difficult to standardise than ELISA.PRNT results were obtained on pre- and post-vaccination sera from 501 measles-vaccinated infants.

The mRNA expression profile of the goat prion protein testis-specific (PRNT) gene and its associations with litter size.

Theriogenology, 2021
The goat PRNT gene was initially identified as a testis-specific gene with a role in spermatogenesis. In this study, we used quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) to first determine the mRNA expression profile of this gene in different goat tissues ...

Numerous polymorphic microsatellites in the human prion gene complex (including PRNP, PRND and PRNT).

Gene, 2004
Microsatellite sites were analysed with DNA screening software by using about 148 kilobases (kb) of the human genomic DNA sequence GenBank accession number (acc. no.) which includes the genes PRNP, PRND and PRNT. Regarding microsatellites (MS) with at least four repeats and base replacements within the repetitive ...

Prion protein testis specific (PRNT) gene polymorphisms and transcript level in ovine spermatozoa: Implications in freezability, fertilization and embryo production.

Theriogenology, 2018
An essential role of prion protein testis specific (PRNT) and prion protein 2 dublet (PRND) genes in the male reproductive function has been highlighted, although a deeper knowledge for the mechanisms involved is still lacking.
