A polyclonal antiserum was generated against a unique peptide fragment in the rat D4 dopamine (DA) receptor. The titer was monitored using solid-phase ELISA and once it was established, specificity was assessed using Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells, stably transfected with the full-length cDNA for the rat D4 DA receptor. Immunofluorescent staining produced by incubation with the anti-D4 DA receptor antiserum was selective for D4 DA receptor-transfected CHO cells, and was expressed at their cell membranes and cytoplasm. Attenuated staining for D4 DA receptor protein was visible in untransfected, K1 CHO cells, and in D2 or D3 DA receptor-transfected CHO cells. The regional and cellular CNS distribution patterns for the D4 DA receptor subtype were examined, and illustrated significant protein levels within the frontal (FCx) and parietal cortices. Lesser amounts of receptor protein staining occurred in the thalamus, globus pallidus, hippocampus, cerebellar vermis, and very low expression was detected in the striatum (CPu). D4 DA receptor protein staining was correlated with the cellular expression of its mRNA transcripts in these same brain regions using concurrent fluorescent analyses. The homologous coincidence in staining patterns for the D4 DA receptor transcripts and encoded proteins in identified neurons of the FCx and CPu showed variations in receptor expression in these identified basal ganglia pathways.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D005455 Fluorescent Antibody Technique Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

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.

D014018 Tissue Distribution Accumulation of a drug or chemical substance in various organs (including those not relevant to its pharmacologic or therapeutic action). This distribution depends on the blood flow or perfusion rate of the organ, the ability of the drug to penetrate organ membranes, tissue specificity, protein binding. The distribution is usually expressed as tissue to plasma ratios. Distribution, Tissue,Distributions, Tissue,Tissue Distributions
