Diurnal Changes of Arginine Vasopressin-Enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein Fusion Transgene Expression in Rat Suprachiasmatic Nucleus

摘要

We examined daily profiles and the light effect about the expression of the AVP-eGFP transgene in the SCN in comparison with the endogenous AVP and Period genes. In addition, we observed the eGFP fluorescence in the SCN and recorded the electrophysiological properties of a dissociated SCN eGFP-positive neuron.
