Experimentelle Untersuchungen zur Expression von Genen im Eileiter vom Schwein (Sus scrofa f.d.)

Stichw. - The secretion of the oviduct is essential for a successful reproduction. It does not only influence the process until fertilisation but also supports the growth and differentiation of the conceptus. There is little information about genes that are expressed in the epithelium of the oviduct during the estrous-cycle. In this study the oviductal gene expression was determined in prepubertal, estrous and interestrous pigs using the ädifferential display-method. In additional experiments the expression of IGF-1-, IGFBP-2- and EGFprecursor-mRNA in the oviductal epithelium of these animals was investigated by the means of RT-PCR...
