Summary

Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) cases decline with feed bans, but uncertainties in pathogenesis and epidemiology remain. Atypical BSE strains pose zoonotic risks, necessitating continued surveillance and feed controls to prevent future epidemics.

Western Blotting

Western blotting is an analytical technique for protein identification. It has various applications in immunology and medicine, including detecting diseases like bovine spongiform encephalopathy, mad cow disease, and human and feline immunodeficiency virus from biological samples.
The technique begins with separating proteins from the sample using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), followed by protein transfer, immunoblotting, and finally, protein detection.
