[Analysis of the expression of the c-fos proto-oncogene in the rat cerebral cortex during learning].

Expression of the c-fos proto-oncogene has been associated with mitosis or differentiation in a number of cultured cells or tissues in vivo. Expression of the c-fos proto-oncogene in adult rat brain cells was studied in the process of learning with the use of Northern hybridization techniques. Our results demonstrate that high levels of c-fos mRNA are detectable in brains of all animals treated.

[Detection of the interstrain polymorphism of heart muscle proteins in mice using two-dimensional electrophoresis].

Cardiac muscle proteins of four inbred murine strains were analyzed by one- and two-dimensional electrophoresis. Of those, 27 and 161 protein fractions were characterized in terms of molecular mass and relative electrophoretic mobility. The protein fractions were identified as corresponding to creatine phosphokinase, myoglobin and an albumin-like protein.
