Fig. 1. In situ hybridization histochemistry showing the distribution
of TRH precursor mRNA in the brain and pituitary of Xenopus
laevis. A–F: Frontal brain sections from white-adapted frogs were
hybridized with an antisense TRH precursor riboprobe and exposed
onto Hyperfilm max for 8 days. The anatomical structures, identified
by microscopic analysis, are designated on the right hemisections.
G: A control section incubated with a sense riboprobe (right hemisection)
is compared with a consecutive section hybridized with the
antisense probe (left hemisection). The rostrocaudal levels of the
sections are indicated on the schematic representation of the brain.
