Cerebellum-specific ERV mch8 expression in C57BL/6J mice. A. Brain-specific expression of ERVmch8 was identified by surveying 16 different tissues (liver [LI], lung [LU], kidney [KI], salivary gland [SG], heart [HE], adrenal gland [AG], ovary [OV], uterus [UT], brain homogenate [BR], skin [SK], small intestine [SI], muscle [MU], spleen [SP], thymus [TH], inguinal lymph node [ILN], and axillary lymph node [ALN]). β-actin serves as a normalization control. B. The drawing illustrates the relative locations of the brain compartments and other neuronal tissues (cerebral cortex [CB], corpus callosum [CC], brain stem [BS], cerebellum [CH], hippocampus [HI], olfactory bulb [OF], cervical spinal cord [CS], lumbar spinal cord [LS], trigeminal ganglia [TG], and optic nerve [ON]) examined in this study. C. Cerebellum-specific expression pattern of ERVmch8 was identified by the comparison of 10 different neuronal tissues.
