title: Expression of a histone H1 gene (H1.1) in human testis and Hassall's corpuscles of the thymus. Expression of a histone H1 gene (H1.1).
abstract: The expression of a H1 gene (H1.1) was studied in several human tissues. Northern blot analysis revealed that this gene is expressed in testis and thymus, but not in other human tissues like liver, spleen, lung, brain, thyroid gland and skin fibroblasts. Furthermore in situ hybridization on tissue sections revealed a cell type specific expression of histone H1.1 gene in the Hassall's corpuscles of the thymus.
