Goat K(222)-PrP(C) polymorphic variant does not provide resistance to atypical scrapie in transgenic mice

Host prion (PrP(C)) genotype is a major determinant for the susceptibility to prion diseases. The Q/K(222)-PrP(C) polymorphic variant provides goats and mice with high resistance against classical scrapie and bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE); yet its effect against atypical scrapie is unknown....
