F. Zhang et al., DISTRIBUTION OF IMMEDIATE-EARLY GENE ZIF-268, C-FOS, C-JUN AND JUN-D MESSENGER-RNAS IN THE ADULT CAT WITH SPECIAL REFERENCES TO BRAIN REGION RELATED TO VISION, Neuroscience letters, 176(2), 1994, pp. 137-141
The distribution of immediate early gene zif-268, c-fos, c-jun and jun
-D mRNAs was investigated in the Visual cortex, dorsal lateral genicul
ate nucleus and hippocampus of the adult cat brain with in situ hybrid
ization. In area 17, zif-268, c-jun and jun-D were Found predominantly
in layers II-III and VI, while c-fos mRNA was abundant in layer VI. I
n area Is, the zif-268, c-fos and c-jun labelling pattern was identica
l to that of area 17, this was not true for jun-D. In area 19, only c-
jun retained the lamination pattern of areas 17 and 18, while zif-268,
c-fos and jun-D were homogeneously distributed. In the dorsal lateral
geniculate nucleus, only c-fos and jun-D resulted in labelling. In th
e pyramidal layer of hippocampus, zif-268 was found in CA1-4, c-jun in
CA1-3, and jun-D in CA2-4. In the dentate gyrus, c-jun was abundant,
jun-D moderate and zif-268 faint. C-fos labelling was absent in the hi
ppocampal formation.
