Annotation: Seven different antisera to synthetic ovine CRF (or to a fragment of CRF), which were raised in rabbits [7], were tested and all but one were found to stain cells and fibers in the rat. Since antiserum 24 ([Try22. Gly23]-CRF (1-23) conjugated to human alpha-globulin with bis-diazetized benzidine] has been found to interact with rat CRF particularly well in radioimmunoassays [Vale, unpublished observations], it was used extensively for the mapping studies reported here.

Staining type: thionin Sampling: 1:4 or 1:8 Annotation: In general, 1-in-4 or 1-in-8 serios of sections through the brain were stained for immunofluorescence. In addition, an adjacent series of sections from each brain was cut and stained with thionine.
