From: Divergence of RNA localization between rat and mouse neurons reveals the potential for rapid brain evolution

Figure 2

In situ hybridization reveals species-specific patterns of localization in neuronal dendrites. Fluorescent Microscopy evaluation of biotin-conjugated oligoprobes on paraformaldehyde fixed 14-day cultured rat and mouse cortical neurons hybridized with nine biotin-conjugated oligoprobes detected with streptadivin-Alexa Fluor 568 (Invitrogen). For each probe images set, the small bottom left corner panels represent MAP2 immuno-staining. Scale bar = 20 μm. (A), Probes against SFRS16, ARHGDIA and HNRPK transcripts show higher dendritic localization in mouse neurons than in rat neurons (Red box). (B), Probes against ZFP410, COMMD3 and RSP6 transcripts show higher dendritic localization in rat neurons than in mouse neurons (Blue box). (C), Probes against UBA52, OLFM1 and H2AFZ transcripts show high dendritic localization in both rat and mouse neurons (Black box).
