Knockdown of the bovine prion gene PRNP by RNA interference (RNAi) technology

BACKGROUND: Since prion gene-knockout mice do not contract prion diseases and animals in which production of prion protein (PrP) is reduced by half are resistant to the disease, we hypothesized that bovine animals with reduced PrP would be tolerant to BSE. Hence, attempts were made to produce bovine...
