Analysis of gene (mRNA and protein) expression patterns is central to the study of embryonic development. This chapter details methods for detecting mRNA and protein expression in whole-mouse embryos and in tissue sections, including mRNA in situ hybridization, immunohistochemistry, and detection of enzymatic and fluorescent protein reporters. We focus on histological methods; molecular methods of measuring gene expression (for example, RNAseq, PCR) are not included here.
基因(mRNA和蛋白质)表达模式的分析是胚胎发育研究的核心。本章详细介绍了在全小鼠胚胎和组织切片中检测mRNA和蛋白质表达的方法,包括mRNA原位杂交、免疫组织化学以及酶和荧光蛋白报告基因的检测。我们重点关注组织学方法;这里不包括测量基因表达的分子方法(例如,RNA测序、PCR)。
