Pathologic and biochemical characterization of PrP(Sc) from elk with PRNP polymorphisms at codon 132 after experimental infection with the chronic wasting disease agent

BACKGROUND: The Rocky Mountain elk (Cervus elaphus nelsoni) prion protein gene (PRNP) is polymorphic at codon 132, with leucine (L132) and methionine (M132) allelic variants present in the population. In elk experimentally inoculated with the chronic wasting disease (CWD) agent, different incubation...
