Until about five years ago, the very idea that peptide
       hormones might be made anywhere in the brain besides
       the hypothalamus was astounding. But laboratory after
       laboratory found that antiserums to peptide hormones,
5      when injected into the brain, bind in places other than the
       hypothalamus, indicating that either the hormones or
       substances that cross-react with the antiserums are present.
       The immunological method of detecting peptide
       hormones by means of antiserums, however, is
10   imprecise. Cross-reactions are possible and this method
       cannot determine whether the substances detected by the
       antiserums really are the hormones, or merely close relatives.
       Furthermore, this method cannot be used to
       determine the location in the body where the detected
15   substances are actually produced. New techniques of molecular
       biology, however, provide a way to answer these questions.
       It is possible to make specific complementary
       DNA‘s (cDNA‘s) that can serve as molecular
       probes to seek out the messenger RNA‘s
20 (mRNA‘s) of the peptide hormones. The brain cells
       containing these mRNA‘s can then be isolated and their
       mRNA‘s decoded to determine just what their protein
       products are and how closely the products resemble
       the true peptide hormones.

11. Which of the following titles best summarizes the
passage?
(A) Is Molecular Biology the Key to Understanding
Intercellular Communication in the Brain?
(B) Molecular Biology: Can Researchers Exploit
Its Techniques to Synthesize Peptide Hormones?
(C) The Advantages and Disadvantages of the
Immunological Approach to Detecting
Peptide Hormones
(D) Peptide Hormones: How Scientists Are

(E) Peptide Hormones: The Role Played by
Messenger RNA‘s in Their Detection


12. The passage suggests that a substance detected in the
brain by use of antiserums to peptide hormones may
(A) have been stored in the brain for a long period
of time
(B) play no role in the functioning of the brain
(C) have been produced in some part of the body
other than the brain
(D) have escaped detection by molecular methods
(E) play an important role in the functioning of the
hypothalamus


13. Which of the following is mentioned in the passage
as a drawback of the immunological method of
detecting peptide hormones?
(A) It cannot be used to detect the presence of
growth regulators in the brain.
(B) It cannot distinguish between the peptide
hormones and substances that are very
similar to them.
(C) It uses antiserums that are unable to cross
the blood-brain barrier.
(D) It involves a purification process that requires
extensive training in endocrinology.
(E) It involves injecting foreign substances directly
into the bloodstream.
