Clearly larger numbers of novel (30 vs. 13) cDNAs, many of which are related to known mRNAs (see Table I}, are obtained in the sample homogenized in M sucrose. This difference is mainly due to the higher numbers (58 vs. 33) of cDNAs derived from niYc/in basic protein (MBP) or myelin-associated oligodendrocytic basic protein (MOBP) mRNAs in the M sucrose sample. Other abbreviations: Mito, sequences related to the mitochondria! genome: Known, sequences in the non-redundant GenBank database: KR, sequences related to known GenBank sequences but with less than 50% of the set/uence matching the known: EST, sequences in the GenBank EST database; Unknown, sequences unrelated to sequences in either the non-redundant or EST databases. The results of this study will, in particular, help us to select appropriate conditions to homogenize dogfish brain, which exists in an environment of far higher tonicity (approximately I M) than mammalian brain.
