LEVEL OF PHYSIOLOGICAL FORM OF PRION IN BRAIN AND SPLEEN AND ANTI-prpc – ANTIBODIES IN BLOOD SECUM OF MICE IS DEPENDENT OF THEIR RATION
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.30970/sbi.0301.026
Abstract
It was found that long term feeding of mice with ration supplemented with cattle brain and meat-bone meal (1:1) resulted in producing cellular form of prion in organs of prion-replicated system (brain and spleen) and anti-PrPc antibodies in blood serum. The effect of ration on potential development of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies is discussed.
