Prion protein expression and processing in human mononuclear cells: the impact of the codon 129 prion gene polymorphism.
BACKGROUND:So far, all clinical cases of new variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD), thought to result from the Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) prion agent, have shown Methionine-Methionine (M/M) homozygosity at the M129V polymorphism of the PRNP gene. Although established, this relationshi...
