Assay
Reference: J:48941 Moore CS, et al., Expression and function of activin beta A during mouse cardiac cushion tissue formation. Dev Dyn. 1998 Aug;212(4):548-62
Assay type: RNA in situ
MGI Accession ID: MGI:6121064
Gene symbol: Inhba
Gene name: inhibin beta-A
Probe: activin betaA cDNA1
Probe preparation: Antisense labelled with digoxigenin RNA
Visualized with: Alkaline phosphatase
Assay notes: Antisense probes to the 5' (in this assay) and 3' ends (MGI:1276505) resulted in similar patterns. It was not stated which probe was used in the assay. Either probe may have been used.
