St. Charlton et al., INSULIN-LIKE GROWTH FACTOR-I (IGF-1) GENE-EXPRESSION IN PORCINE OVARIAN TISSUE, Canadian journal of animal science, 73(2), 1993, pp. 253-257
A study was conducted to demonstrate IGF-1 gene expression in porcine
ovarian tissue. Using northern blot analysis, IGF-1 messenger ribonucl
eic acid (mRNA) transcripts could not be consistently detected in tota
l RNA. Authentic mRNA transcripts were detected in polyadenylated RNA-
enriched RNA with sizes of 8.0, 3.6 and 2.3 bases, and possibly 0.8-1.
