| pubmed-article:16966452 | pubmed:abstractText | The purpose of this study was to characterize the patterns of PrP(Sc) immunoreactivity in the retinae of scrapie-affected sheep and to determine the extent of retinal pathology as indicated by glial fibrillary acidic protein immunoreactivity (GFAP-IR) of Müller glia. Sections from the retina of 13 experimentally inoculated scrapie-affected and 2 negative control sheep were examined with immunohistochemical staining for PrP(Sc), GFAP, and PrP(Sc)/GFAP double staining. GFAP-IR of Müller glia is suggestive of retinal pathology in the absence of morphologic abnormality detected by light microscopy. Sheep with the least amount of PrP(Sc) in the retina have multifocal punctate aggregates of prion staining in the outer half of the inner plexiform layer and rarely in the outer plexiform layer. In these retinae, GFAP-IR is not localized with prion accumulation, but rather is present in moderate numbers of Müller glia throughout the sections of retina examined. The majority of sheep with retinal accumulation of PrP(Sc) have intense, diffuse PrP(Sc) staining in both plexiform layers, with immunoreactivity in the cytoplasm of multiple ganglion cells and lesser amounts in the optic fiber layer and between nuclei in nuclear layers. This intense PrP(Sc) immunoreactivity is associated with diffuse, intense GFAP-IR that extends from the inner limiting membrane to the outer limiting membrane. This is the first report of a prion disease in a natural host that describes the accumulation of PrP(Sc) in retina associated with retinal pathology in the absence of overt morphologic changes indicative of retinal degeneration. | lld:pubmed |
