Bovine tissue gene expression profiling at peak lactation

ABSTRACT: Tissue from mammary, liver, and three adipose depots (mesenteric, omental, and subcutaneous) was collected at slaughter from a cow at peak lactation to examine gene expression profiles of 7872 sequences using a bovine cDNA microarray. RNA (20 ug) from tissues and a reference standard derived from a mixture of tissues were used to make aminoallyl-labeled cDNA followed by incorporation of Cy3-ester and Cy5-ester (Amersham, Piscataway, NJ). Each experimental sample was co-hybridized with the reference standard, which allowed the treatment of fluorescence ratios as measurements of relative expression across all samples and time points. Probes were hybridized to the array for 2 days at 42 C. All samples were hybridized to duplicate slides for a total of 4 spots per cDNA element. The microar
