Studies with Tg mice have contributed a wealth of new knowledge about the synthesis of prion particles and the pathogenesis of both the genetic and infectious forms of the prion diseases. Transgenetic studies argue persuasively that the 'species barrier' is due to differences in PrP gene sequences among mammals.
对转基因小鼠的研究为朊病毒颗粒的合成以及朊病毒疾病的遗传形式和感染形式的发病机制提供了大量新知识。转基因研究有力地表明，“种间屏障”是由于哺乳动物之间PrP基因序列的差异所致。
