Article Synopsis
- Researchers examined the brains of 5 BSE-affected cattle and 3 scrapie-affected sheep, comparing them to normal brains using a histoblot technique.
- The histoblot technique allowed for the specific detection of normal (PrP(C)) and abnormal (PrP(Sc)) prion protein isoforms.
- In the brains affected by BSE or scrapie, there was a noticeable decrease in the PrP(C) signal, particularly in areas showing the presence of the PrP(Sc) signal.
