| Abstract: | Total CK and iso-enzyme CK-BB activity was measured in serum from four sheep with scrapie and in serum from four healthy control sheep. Blood samples were taken weekly for about six months. There was a clear overlap between the total CK and CK-BB activity in serum from sheep with scrapie and that in serum from control sheep. Thus measurement of these enzymes does not aid the clinical diagnosis of scrapie. |
