abstractText | In situ hybridization using digoxigenin-labelled cDNA has dual advantages of having high structural resolution and high sensitivity and avoiding problems associated with the handling of radioactive materials. We have used this technique to detect and locate mRNA for mouse ZP3 protein in paraffin sections of fixed ovaries of newborn and adult mice. Mouse ZP3 mRNA was restricted to the cytoplasm of oocytes. After day 16, ZP3 mRNA expression was increasingly restricted to the cytoplasm of the oocyte. Previous work on the distribution of ZP3 mRNA was confirmed and we were able to show that using non-isotopic in situ hybridization, sensitive and accurate cellular localization was feasible in paraffin embedded mouse ovary. |
