Animals (subjects) | Sex: M | Number of animals: 10 | Age: not specified | Mass: not specified | Unit of mass: not specified | Housing conditions: normal housing | Annotation: The second group consisted of animals that received a single injection of colchine (4-8 microgram/microliter) saline into either the lateral ventricle (100-200 micrograms; n=8) or the fourth ventricle (50 micrograms; n=2) the day before perfusion |
| Experimental method | Experiment type: immunohistochemistry | Neuron/glia identification method: not specified | Staining frequency: 1:4 or 1:8 | 8, 6 Experimental details:
| Antigen: not specified Antigen species: not specified Source (producer): not specified Primary antibody: not specified Primary antibody species: rabbit Antibody type (monoclonal, polyclonal): polyclonal Secondary antibody: not specified Secondary antibody species: not specified Immunoglobulin class: not specified Control: not specified Visualization method: fluorescence Visualization medium: slide 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with bis-diazetized benzidine] has been found to interact with rat CRF particularly well in radioimmunoassays [Vale, unpublished observations], it was used extensively for the mapping studies reported here.
