| Research Abstract |
EST analysis and mass spectrometry revealed the low quality of neural tissues prepared by a conventional method. A complete dehydration could suppress the degradations of RNAs and peptides during microdissection. The ratio of a neural peptide mRNA and EF1a mRNA was improved over several dozen folds. A new peptide, Cubifirn, was identified as a potent neural factor to induce oocyte maturation and spawning.
