The cause of mad cow disease is an insoluble variant protein that deposits in the brain and forms a spongy tissue. This protein is called Prion and its normal form is not harmful to health, but variant forms can cause spongiform encephalopathy. Researchers using genetic technology to develop the "anti-mad cow disease" cattle are born without Prion protein, so this kind of cattle can not infect Mad cow disease. Currently, researchers are planning to use this cow to develop new drugs for the treatment of hepatitis C, pneumonia, and rheumatoid arthritis. Kirin Brewery is investigating the injection of genes responsible for human immunity into the bovine body to produce antibodies that can treat human diseases. In addition, it is understood that if this technology is applied to beef cattle breeding, then the cattle farmers no longer have to worry about mad cow disease.
