Prion protein polymorphisms associated with reduced CWD susceptibility limit peripheral PrP(CWD) deposition in orally infected white-tailed deer

BACKGROUND: Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a prion disease affecting members of the Cervidae family. PrP(C) primary structures play a key role in CWD susceptibility resulting in extended incubation periods and regulating the propagation of CWD strains. We analyzed the distribution of abnormal prio...
