Animals (subjects) | Sex: M | Number of animals: not specified | Age: not specified | Mass: 200-300 | Unit of mass: | Housing conditions: not specified | Annotation: Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats (200-300 g) and pups were deeply anesthetized with ether and then sacrificed by decapitation. At least three animals of each age were used for in situ hybridization histochemistry. |
| Experimental method | Experiment type: in situ hybridization | Neuron/glia identification method: morphology | Staining frequency: not specified | Experimental details:
| Measured nucleic acid: mRNA Source (producer): not specified Probe sequence: BGIII fragment of residues 1023-2063 Sequence species: not specified Probe sequence orientation: antisense Control: not specified Labelling method: radiolabelling Visualization method: autoradiogram Visualization medium: film Annotation: for NMDAR1, the 1,600 base pair (bp) BglII fragment of residues 1,023-2,623 (nucleotide residues are numbered, beginning with the first reside of the initiation ATG codon)...In order to estimate the level of nonspecific bindings, we used a 100 molar excess of the cold antisense probes coexisting with the labeled probes. The cold antisense riboprobes were synthesized similarly with unlabeled nucleotides.
