Abstract excerpt
The occurrence of TrkB in the murine thymus (15-day and 3-month old) was investigated by Northern blot, Western blot and immunohistochemistry. Furthermore, the thymus of 15-day-old mice carrying a non-functional mutation on trkB was analyzed. Both trkB mRNA and 145 kDa TrkB protein were detected. In addition, isolated lymphocytes and stromal cells also expressed this protein. The thymus of homozygous functionally...
