This occurrence was tested in this study, by searching for the expression of Cx57 RNA and protein transcripts during the postnatal development of the mouse CNS. Both the Cx57 RNA (investigated by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)) and the protein (Western-Blot and immunohistochemistry...
