Transcription of ram sperm chromatin was examined by two electron microscopic techniques, namely spreading and thin sections. Labelling by Streptavidin-gold particles permits identification of transcription complexes, that have previously incorporated biotinylated uridine triphosphate. This supports previous electron microscopic data for randomly distributed transcription complexes and the presence of polymerase II molecules, documented by means of specific antibody using immunoelectron microscopy. Labelling of transcripts with biotin permits exact visualization of the transcription process, as well as identification of regions, where transcription occurs.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
