Best Answer

BSE, bovine spongiform encephalopathy, is a prion disease in bovine mammals, notably cows. Because the causative agent is not living and is in fact related to 79 proteins naturally occurring in bovines, the immune system does not recognize the protein as a pathogenic agent and thus is unable to mount a resistance against it. Therefore, the immune system of any animal infected with a prion disease is unable to fight against it.
