PPT-Presence of “Mad Cow Disease” (Bovine Spongiform Enceph

Christina Hill Department of Biological Sciences York College of Pennsylvania Project Summary Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy BSE and Natural Scrapie are prion diseases that result from the misfolding of proteins in the brain One misfolded protein can cause other proteins to misfold creating florid plaques that can affect motor function and decrease lifespan Prion diseases can be transferred to animal species that are not naturally susceptible to these diseases through gene transfer Research shows that brain plaque isolates from animals infected with prion diseases can be collected and inserted into the brains of transgenic mice In the proposed experiment 10 OvTgPrP4 transgenic mice will be injected with normal saline 10 with BSE isolates and 10 with Natural Scrapie isolates Inoculated transgenic mice are observed for changes in motor function each week for course of their lifespan After expiration the mice can be dissected and their brain removed The removed brains would be paraffinembedded for microtome sectioning These sections will be stained using Immunohistochemistry to look for the presence of florid plaques associated with the respective disease Isolates from each mouse brain will also be tested for infection using a Sandwich ELISA test Infection in all mice inoculated with the respective diseases should be found as well as a decrease in motor dysfunction and lifespan Effective transmission of prion diseases to species without natural susceptibility can allow for more effective medical models to be developed and increased knowledge of these diseases.

Somali Bovine Genetics established 2015 and is a leader in bovine genetics and artificial breeding technology in Somalia. . SBG. provides quality genetics and related products to farmers in Somalia. We maintain a fully staffed imported semen distribution facility and liquid nitrogen production center, complete animal feed mill in Mogadishu, Somalia. In the coming months we will plan to set up feed analysis laboratory and milk processing plant with prober cold chains.. 1This provision shall apply only among Parties that are Members of the World TradeOrganization. - 2 - stability of markets for bovine meat and live animals;4.to further expand trade on a competi Clinical Information l months, although the disease can remain dormant and become active again many years later.

Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) is a progressive, fatal, infectious neurologic disease of cattle that resembles scrapie of sheep and goats. It was first diagnosed in the UK in 1986. Approximately 200,000 cases of BSE have been diagnosed in cattle, almost all of which were in the UK. In 1992, at the peak of the UK outbreak, 37,280 cases were reported in a single year..
