Abstract

The protein coding regions of the PrP genes of six pigs were sequenced directly from PCR-amplified genomic DNA. All six sequences were identical. The gene encodes a protein of 257 amino acids and shows an overall similarity of 77 to 88% with the PrP sequences from other mammalian species. The significance of amino acids unique to the pig PrP are discussed.
