Fig. 4. Knockin Cdk2 expression is insufficient to rescue the
Cdk2-/- meiotic defect. (A-D)
Immunohistochemistry of Cdk1, Cdk2 and HA (Cdk2KI) on testes from 3-month-old
mice. Sections stained for Cdk1: Cdk2+/+ (Aa),
Cdk2+/+ Cdk1+/Cdk2KI (Ba),
Cdk2-/- (Ca) and Cdk2-/-
Cdk1+/Cdk2KI (Da). Sections stained for Cdk2:
Cdk2+/+ (Ab), Cdk2+/+
Cdk1+/Cdk2KI (Bb), Cdk2-/- (Cb) and
Cdk2-/- Cdk1+/Cdk2KI (Db). Sections stained for
HA: Cdk2+/+ (Ac), Cdk2+/+
Cdk1+/Cdk2KI (Bc), Cdk2-/- (Cc) and
Cdk2-/- Cdk1+/Cdk2KI (Dc). Arrows in Aa and Ba
indicate leptotene and zygotene spermatocytes. Arrows in Ca and Da indicate
cells with a pachytene-like morphology. Arrows in Ab indicate cells with
zygotene morphology. Scale bar: 20 µm.
