Cholinergic neurons of the basal forebrain express the p75 (low affinity) nerve growth factor receptor (NGFr) on the cell surface. It has been previously shown that an immunotoxin that recognizes the p75 NGFr, IgG 192-saporin, eliminates these neurons as judged by a variety of techniques after intraventricular injection into rat brain. Here we show that this loss of neurons can also be identified by detecting the disappearance of the p75 NGFr mRNA utilizing a non-radioactive in situ hybridization method.

D012333	RNA, Messenger	RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
