✦ Synopsis

The distribution of mRNA with high sequence homology to somatostatin mRNA within the periventricular hypothalamus of rat was assessed using in situ hybridization techniques with synthetic oligodeoxyribonucleotide probes, complementary to the 3' coding region of rat somatostatin mRNA. The probes (22and 24-mers) were 5'-end labeled using T4 polynucleotide kinase and Y -~~P -A T P .

They were used either individually or after ligation with T4 DNA ligase to form a 46-mer. Serial tissue sections ( < 10 pm) were taken from the level of the preoptic/anterior hypothalamus through the paraventricular hypothalamus. In situ hybridizations were conducted at room temperature in hybridization buffer. Neurons immunoreactive with antiserum raised against somatostatin were identified in alternate sections using standard immunocytochemical procedures. The anatomical location of the hybridization signal was determined by autoradiography . Our results show that the peri-and paraventricular hypothalamus is rich in transcripts putatively coding for somatostatin and that these transcripts are co-distributed with neurons immunoreactive with antisomatostatin immunoglobulin.

## Abstract Oligonucleotide probes have been used to map the myeloperoxidase (__MPO__) gene locus to chromosome bands 17q21–22. This is in agreement with results reported using conventional cDNA probes. No evidence for the existence of a second __MPO__ gene locus was obtained. Six synthetic 72‐base
