Phenotype Image Detail
Image
Caption LrgukKaos/LrgukKaos mice are oligoasthenoteratospermic and sterile. (D) PAS stained testis sections from wild-type (WT) and LrgukKaos/LrgukKaos (Kaos/Kaos) mice. * denotes the absence of sperm tails in the lumen of mutant males; black arrowheads point to fragmented acrosomes. Scale bar = 50 um. (E) Haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stained sperm smears from WT and mutant animals. Scale bar = 10 um. (F) H&E staining of an epididymis from WT and mutant mice. The green arrow indicates sloughed of immature germ cells. Scale bar = 50 um. (G) Gamma-H2AX foci (green) were visible in retained step I-III elongated spermatids from mutant mice but not WT spermatids. Acrosomes were visualised by PNA (red) and nuclei were visualised with Dapi (blue). Scale bars = 10 um. *p<0.05, ****p<0.0001.
