A schematic diagram of the experiment. Stratum pyramidale and stratum radiatum were dissected from hippocampal slices of adult rats. Total RNA extracted from each fraction was reverse primed with a T7 promoter-conjugated oligo-d(T) primer and labeled with either Cyanine 3 or Cyanine 5 through in vitro transcription. Equal amount of labeled probes were mixed and hybridized to a set of five replicates of the Agilent 22 K rat oligonucleotide microarray. Enlarged views of the microarrays are presented showing reproducible hybridization.
