immune system

decreased susceptibility to prion infection ( J:126777 )

• incubation period following infection with sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob VV2 prions is 723+/-79 days compared to 312+/-7 days for Prnp^{tm3(PRNP*129V)Tkit} homozygous mice

increased susceptibility to prion infection ( J:126777 )

• incubation period following infection with sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob MM1 prions is 429+/-6 days compared to 542 and 648 days for 2 Prnp^{tm3(PRNP*129V)Tkit} homozygous mice

nervous system

abnormal brain morphology ( J:126777 )

• following infection with sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob MM1 prion, mice exhibit diffuse synaptic-type prion protein deposits

• following infection with sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob VV2 prion, mice exhibit more prominent plaque-type prion protein deposits with larger plaque-type deposits spread throughout the cerebral gray matter and thalamus rather than the white matter
