Abstract

The localizations of mRNAs encoding LH beta and FSH beta in porcine pituitary were investigated by in situ hybridization technique. Biotinylated porcine LH beta and FSH beta cDNA probes were used on frozen sections of paraformaldehyde-fixed pituitary specimens. Hybridizations to both mRNAs were observed specifically in cytoplasm with unstained nuclei. Furthermore, cells hybridized for LH beta mRNA were demonstrated to be identical to those for FSH beta mRNA. This study provided the first morphological evidence that both gonadotropin beta genes are expressed in the same cell.
