Fig. 3. Distribution of the TIF1ß protein in control (TIF1ß^L2/L2:PrP-Cre-ER^T(0/0)) and experimental (TIF1ß^L2/L2:PrP-Cre-ER^T(tg/0)) testes, 1 day (B), 6 weeks (C-F) and 8 weeks (A) after tamoxifen treatment. All the seminiferous tubules displayed here correspond to histologically normal stage VII tubules. C-F are from the same experimental testis. ES, elongated spermatids; P, pachytene spermatocytes; PR, preleptotene spermatocytes; RS, round spermatids; S, Sertoli cells. Immunostaining for TIF1ß (pink and red signals) with DAPI counterstain (blue signal). Scale bar: 100 µm in A,B; 50 µm in C-F.
