Specimen 1F XY: embryonic day 17.5; X/SryPOS-TIR (more )
Note: sex reversed
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS25: germ cell of ovary Present Regionally restricted 1F The intensity of immunostaining was comparable between XY and XX ovaries. However, considerably fewer germ cells were distributed in the central region of the XY ovary.

Specimen 1G XX: embryonic day 19.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: germ cell of ovary Present 1G Fewer germ cells were noted in the XX ovary compared with earlier ages.

Specimen 1H XY: embryonic day 19.5; X/SryPOS-TIR (more )
Note: sex reversed
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: germ cell of ovary Present Regionally restricted 1H Fewer germ cells were seen in the XY ovary compared with earlier ages. In particular, germ cells were scarce in the central region of the XY ovary.

Specimen 1I XX: postnatal newborn (more )
Note: 21.5 dpc
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: germ cell of ovary Present Non-Uniform 1I Germ cells were seen in the entire region of the XX ovary, although a larger number were seen in the peripheral region.

Specimen 1J XY: postnatal newborn; X/SryPOS-TIR (more )
Note: 21.5 dpc; sex reversed
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: germ cell of ovary Weak Regionally restricted 1J Fewer germ cells were seen in the XY ovary, mainly in the peripheral region.

Specimen 2A XX: postnatal newborn (more )
Note: 24.5 dpc
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: germ cell of ovary Weak Single cells 2A A few germ cells with faint immunostaining were seen in the peripheral region of the XX ovary.

Specimen 2B XY: postnatal newborn; X/SryPOS-TIR (more )
Note: 24.5 dpc; sex reversed
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: germ cell of ovary Trace Regionally restricted 2B Staining is almost absent in the XY ovary.

Specimen 3A XX: embryonic day 15.5; Paf/Paf+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note

Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: germ cell of ovary Present 3B Numerous germ cells were seen throughout the ovary.

Specimen 3C XX: postnatal newborn; Paf/Paf+ (more )
Note: 20.5 dpc
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: germ cell of ovary Present Regionally restricted 3C Fewer germ cells were seen, particularly in the central region compared with E15.5.

Specimen 3D XO (maternal X): postnatal newborn; Paf+/? (more )
Note: 20.5 dpc
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: germ cell of ovary Present Regionally restricted 3D Fewer germ cells were seen, particularly in the central region compared with E15.5.
