The present study is based on the analysis of mice carrying seven independently generated Prnp-null alleles. PrnpEdbg/Edbg and PrnpRcm0/Rcm0 were always crossed to isogenic 129/Ola mice, whereas all other Prnp−/− mice were crossed to B6 mice and then kept on a mixed B6 and 129 background or further backcrossed to B6 or other strains.
