Description

APHA require the production of a lineage of mice (mus musculus) which are
homozygous for a bank-vole (Myodes glareolus) prion transgene. Prions cause
transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) such as mad cow disease in
cattle which is associated with variant CJD in humans. Animal TSEs are fatal and
can be zoonotic i.e. can transmit from animals to human. Rodents are used for
characterising these diseases and defining their zoonotic potential.
