Reference: J:49663 Sahly I, et al., Prominent neuronal-specific tub gene expression in cellular targets of tubby mice mutation. Hum Mol Genet. 1998 Sep;7(9):1437-47
Assay type: RNA in situ
MGI Accession ID: MGI:3817936
Gene symbol: Tub
Gene name: TUB bipartite transcription factor
Probe: probe 1
Probe preparation: Antisense labelled with S35 DNA
Visualized with: Autoradiography
Assay notes: Four oligonucleotide in situ probes were described - Probe 1 (MGI:3817930), Probe 2 (MGI:3817931), Probe 3 (MGI:3817932), and Probe 4 (MGI:3817933). However, the probe used in the figures was not detailed. The four probesgave the same hybridization pattern on several adjacent adult brain, embryonic and fetal serial tissue sections. Sections were fixed in 2% paraformaldehyde for 30 min. The probe used in this assay was 3' labelled.
