Likewise, the Western blot type of PrPres as defined by the molecular mass of the unglycosylated PrPres after proteinase K digestion cannot account for these different seeding activities, since PrPres type 2 is distributed in both groups with efficient (sCJD MV2, VV2, C-BSE in macaques) and inefficient (vCJD) seeding properties. Here, SGCG is linked to variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
