Our data confirm that elk CWD prions can convert the human Pr[P.sup.C], at least in vitro, and show that the homologous PRNP polymorphisms at codon 129 and 132 in humans and cervids affect conversion efficiency.
Susceptibility of Human Prion Protein to Conversion by Chronic Wasting Disease Prions
Remarkably, disease transmission of brain extracts from Tg animals overexpressing the P101L mutation neither occurred to wild-type nor to Tg mice expressing MoPrP-P101L from two transgene copies that do not develop disease spontaneously in their natural lifespan [27], which is in full agreement with a previous study from Manson's group showing that PRNP gene-targeted 101LL mice expressing MoPrPP101L failed to develop the neurodegenerative disease spontaneously [28].
