digoxigenin/cannabis

Double-label in situ hybridization was used to identify the phenotypes of striatal neurons that express mRNA for cannabinoid CB(1) receptors. Simultaneous detection of multiple mRNAs was performed by combining a (35)S-labeled ribonucleotide probe for CB(1) mRNA with digoxigenin-labeled riboprobes

This chapter presents a reliable, detailed method for performing double-label in situ hybridization (ISH) that has been validated for use in studies identifying the co-localization of cannabinoid CB1 receptor mRNA with other distinct species of mRNAs. This method permits simultaneous detection of

Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a common cause of acute kidney injury (AKI), which is an increasing problem in the clinic and has been associated with elevated rates of mortality. Therapies to treat AKI are currently not available, so identification of new targets that can be modulated to

The cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1) displays unusual properties, including the dual capacity to inhibit or stimulate adenylate cyclase and a brain density considerably higher than the majority of G protein-coupled receptors. Together with overlapping expression patterns of dopamine and serotonin

In situ hybridization histochemistry was used to show the distribution of messenger RNA for central cannabinoid CB 1 receptors in dorsal root ganglia of the rat. CB1 messenger RNA was highly expressed in neuronal subpopulations of rat dorsal root ganglia. The phenotypes of neurons that express
