Using RNAi Technology Against BSE and CJD

Filed in archive Diagnostics, Methodologies and Instrumentation , Drugs, Vaccines and Therapeutics , Genomics, Proteomics and Bioinformatics by ruth on December 10, 2006

Scientists may be on to a novel approach for the development of therapeutics against neurodegenerative diseases such as Bovine links

spongiform encephalopathy (BSE, also known as "mad cow disease") and Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease.

Using RNAi technology, they have been able to demonstrate in vitro that the genes coding for PrPsc, an abnormally folded protein that accumulates in the brain typical of BSE and CJD, may be silenced.

The study has been published in a recent issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation.
