Results
Specimen 1a: postnatal adult; H3f3aGt(ROSABetageo)14E7Ev/H3f3a+ (more )

Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: Sertoli cell Sertoli cell Present 1a Staining in Sertoli cells restricted to residual bodies.
TS28: germ cell of testis Strong Single cells 1a Most intense staining appeared to be associated with maturing germ cells; particularly intense in primary spermatocytes.
TS28: primary spermatocyte Strong Single cells 1a Most intense staining appeared to be associated with maturing germ cells; particularly intense in primary spermatocytes.
TS28: interstitium of the testis Absent 1a

Specimen not shown: postnatal day 5; H3f3aGt(ROSABetageo)14E7Ev/H3f3a+ (more )
