Inhibin α mRNA expression in monkey testis. Northern blots showing inhibin α mRNA expression in adult monkey testes. Equal amounts of total RNA from two adult males were run on a MOPS-formaldehyde gel. RNA was transferred to a nylon membrane and hybridized consecutively with ³² P-labeled cDNA probes corresponding to 465 bp of exon 2 (A) and 256 bp of exon 1 (B) of monkey inhibin α. Both probes detected transcripts of 1.7 and 4 kb (top two arrows). The exon 1 probe also detected a 0.4 kb transcript (bottom arrow in B). Molecular weight standards (in kb) are shown at the left of each panel. Hybridization patterns were the same in both animals.
