FIG. 3.

Expression of MCD9 mRNA in adult mouse brain. Brain sections were hybridized with an antisense MDC9 mRNA probe and analyzed using bright-field (A, C, and E) and corresponding dark-field (B, D, and F) images. Coronal sections through the hippocampus (A and B) showed high expression (blue arrows) in the pyramidal layer, particularly in the CA3 region, as well as in the dentate gyrus (DG). Abundant expression (blue arrows) was detected in the central part of the hypothalamus (C and D) and in Purkinje cerebellar neurons (E and F).
