The prion protein-encoding gene (PRNP) is one of the major determinants for scrapie occurrence in sheep and goats. However, its effect on bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) transmission to goats is not clear. Methods. Goats harboring wild-type, R/Q<inf>211</inf> or Q/K<inf>222</inf> PRNP genotypes were orally inoculated with a goat-BSE isolate to assess their relative susceptibility to BSE infection. Goats were killed at different time points during the incubation period and after the onset of clinical signs, and their brains as well as several peripheral tissues were analyzed for the accumulation of pathological prion protein (PrPSc) and prion infectivity by mouse bioassay. Results. R/Q<inf>211</inf> goats displayed delayed clinical signs compared with wild-type goats. Deposits of PrPSc were detected only in brain, whereas infectivity was present in peripheral tissues too. In contrast, none of the Q/K<inf>222</inf> goats showed any evidence of clinical prion disease. No PrPSc accumulation was observed in their brains or peripheral tissues, but very low infectivity was detected in some tissues very long after inoculation (44-45 months). Conclusions. These results demonstrate that transmission of goat BSE is genotype dependent, and they highlight the pivotal protective effect of the K<inf>222</inf> PRNP variant in the oral susceptibility of goats to BSE. © 2015 The Author. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/290993 | DOI: | 10.1093/infdis/jiv112 | ISSN: | 0022-1899 | E-ISSN: | 1537-6613 |
