In situ hybridization with a V1r gene of group c. (Left) Coronal section through the vomeronasal organ of an adult male mouse annealed with a digoxigenin-labeled antisense RNA-probe for a conserved region of gene V1rc7. Each dark spot represents the cell body of a vomeronasal sensory neuron expressing a cross-hybridizing V1r gene. The probe recognizes multiple bands in Southern blot hybridization of genomic DNA. (Right) Drawing representing the image on the left. Cell bodies of cells expressing V1rc7-like genes are located in the apical zone of the vomeronasal organ. Orientation: L, lateral; M, medial; D, dorsal; V, ventral.
