Fig. 1. Deletion of PTEN in PGCs. Immunohistochemical staining for PTEN was carried
out on E15.5 control (A, Ptenflox/:
TNAP/Cre) and mutant (B,
Ptenflox/: TNAP/Cre+) testes.
In control mice, strong cytoplasmic staining was observed in germ cells but
the expression level was low in somatic cells. In mutant mice, only background
level of expression was observed both in germ and somatic cells. Scale bar: 20
