The 37-kDa/67-kDa laminin receptor (LRP/LR) plays a major role in the propagation of PrPSc, the abnormal form of the prion protein. In order to ablate the expression of LRP/LR in mouse brain we generated transgenic mice ectopically expressing antisense LRP RNA in the brain under control of the neuron-specific enolase (NSE) promoter. Hemizygous transgenic mice TgN(NSEasLRP)2 showed a significant reduction of LRP/LR protein levels in hippocampal and cerebellar brain regions. These mice might act as powerful tools to investigate the role of the laminin receptor in scrapie pathogenesis.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
