Phenotype Image Detail
Image
Caption A: Testis of an 11 month old wild type mouse. B: Histological analysis of the testis shown in A. All the different stages of germ cells are present within the seminiferous tubules. C: Testis of an 11 month old Sox2tm1Rlb/Sox2+ mouse showing reduced size and white opaque patches, indicative of sperm blockage. This was confirmed by histological analysis (D), where aberrant tubules were seen that contained very large numbers of mature sperm only, instead of a range of spermatogenic stages (arrow). The somatic cells also looked abnormal in these tubules. Scale bars: A and C, 1,260um; B, 55um; D, 42um.
