In situ localization of dystrobrevin transcripts in mouse brain. Dark-field autoradiograms showing horizontal brain sections hybridized with 35S-labeled oligonucleotides detecting the α-dystrobrevin transcripts (A and C) or the β-dystrobrevin transcript (B and D). α- and β-dystrobrevin are expressed in similar regions of the brain. Labeling of the hippocampal formation, both CA regions and over the dentate gyrus (DG) is shown. In addition, signal in the olfactory bulb (ob), cerebral cortex (Cx), and cerebellum (Cb) is detected. Some subcortical regions, especially the caudate putamen (Cp), also are labeled.
