Transgenic mice resistant to Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) could pave the way to the breeding of resistant cattle, researchers reported this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). Jiri Safar at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and colleagues found that gene alterations caused mice to express a mutant form of BSE prion, which made the animals resistant when injected with high doses of the disease-causing form of prion.
