First report of structural characteristics and polymorphisms of the prion protein gene in raccoon dogs: The possibility of prion disease-resistance

Prion diseases are fatal degenerative encephalopathies caused by misfolded prion protein (PrP(Sc)) converted from normal prion protein (PrP(C)). Previous studies have reported that genetic polymorphisms of the prion protein gene (PRNP) play a critical role in susceptibility to prion diseases. In add...
