Fig. 3. Stabilization of β-catenin in Sertoli cells of
Catnblox(e3)/+; AMH-Cretg/+ mice.
(A-H) β-Catenin protein was stained by an anti-β-catenin
antibody (green) and nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue). The
accumulation of β-catenin in Sertoli cells started from E13.5 in a few
Sertoli cells (D, arrow) and expanded to more Sertoli cells at E14.5 (F,
arrows). At E15.5, almost all Sertoli cells in the testicular cord were
affected (H, arrows). The stabilized β-catenin was localized both in
cytoplasm and nucleus in Sertoli cells. Scale bars: 20 µm.
