Figure Lengend Snippet: Analysis of PrP res properties to determine the type of BSE. Results of Bio-Rad TeSeE Hybrid Western blot (WB) on the brain stem at the level of the obex after proteinase K digestion. WB results show the typical three band pattern of PrP res ; amongst which the upper most band represents di-glycosylated, middle band represents mono-glycosylated and third band represents un-glycosylated PrP. (A) Lane 1; MagicMark (molecular weight marker), Lane 2; C-BSE control, lane 3; Canadian BSE case 20, Lane 4; H-BSE control, Lane 5; L-BSE, Lane 6; Negative control. Anti-PrP antibody; 94B4 (a C-terminal antibody that can detect all types of BSE). Results indicate the molecular weight of un-glycosylated PrP res of Canadian BSE case 20 higher than that of the the C-BSE control and consistent with that of the H-BSE control. (B) Lane 1; MagicMark, lane 2; C-BSE control, Lane 3; Canadian BSE case 20, Lane 4; H-BSE control, Lane 5; L-BSE control, Lane 6; Negative control. Anti-PrP antibody; P4 (an N - terminal antibody that can detect only H-BSE). Molecular weights are shown in kDa; kilodaltons.
Article Snippet: Further, to determine the type of BSE, biochemical typing of PK resistant PrP Sc (PrP res ) with Bio-Rad TeSeE Hybrid western blot was performed using anti-PrP 94B4 antibody.
