Expression of Lf-NT and Trk receptor mRNA in adult lamprey. RNase protection assay was used to analyze the levels of (A) Lf-NT, (B) Lf-Trk1, and (C) Lf-Trk2 mRNA in total RNA prepared from adult lamprey. Total RNA (15 μg) prepared from the indicated tissue was analyzed, and protected RNA fragments were visualized on 5% denaturing polyacrylamide gels that were exposed to PhosphorImager screens and subsequently scanned by a PhosphorImager. Note that exposure times for the Lf-NT gel (A) was 6 d and for the Trk gels (B, C) overnight (10 hr), indicating lower levels ofLf-NT mRNA. Yeast tRNA (y tRNA) and RNA from total 4-d-old chicken embryos (chick embryo) were used as negative controls. The protectedLf-NT fragment is 704 bases long, theLf-Trk1 fragment is 431 bases, and theLf-Trk2 is 434 bases. p, Undigested RPA probe.
