Expression of gfrα receptors, ret, GDNF, and NTN in different brain regions of the adult mouse. Different brain regions were dissected from BALB/c mice, and total RNAs were extracted as described in Materials and Methods. (Left) Autoradiograms of RNase protection assays. (Right) Graphs represent the average of the PhosphorImager values expressed in an arbitrary unit [(value X/value GAPDH) × 10,000]. Ob, olphactory bulb; Sep, septum; Str, striatum; Hc, hippocampus; Cx, cortex; Thal, thalamus; Hyth, hypothalamus, Col, colliculi; Cb, cerebellum; BS, brain stem.
