Is faecal matrix metalloprotease-9 a more sensitive marker for diagnosing pouchitis than faecal calprotectin : results from a pilot study?
Fecal matrix metalloprotease-9 has a high specificity in the diagnosis of pouchitis.
The L-BSE agent differs from both ovine classic BSE or CH1641 scrapie maintaining its specific strain properties after passage in sheep, although striking PrPres molecular changes could be found in RQ171 sheep and in the spleen of ovine PrP transgenic mice.
