Abstract

See full text

The present invention is directed to the assessment of transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) using a sample from a living individual. The assessment is based on the use of an RNA marker molecule in a sample of whole blood. The RNA encodes a hypothetical cystein protease. The invention is further directed to the detection of the marker molecule by means of real-time PCR. The invention provides the use of the nucleotide sequence as a marker in the assessment of TSE, a method for assessing bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in a bovine animal as well as kits to practice the invention.
