Fig. 2. Histological evidence of disrupted testis cords in Dax1-deficient
testis. Histological comparison of Dax1-deficient (B,D,F,H,J) and
wild-type (A,C,E,G,I) testes taken at 11.5 dpc (A,B), 12.5 dpc (C,D), 13.5 dpc
(E,F), 14.5 dpc (G,H) and 17.5 dpc (I,J). Although development of the testis
cords is readily discerned in wild-type testis, little organization is present
in Dax1-deficient testis. Asterisks identify testis cords; arrows
indicate peritubular myoid cells.
