• mice lack elongating spermatids unlike wild-type mice
• epididymides lack mature sperm unlike wild-type mice
|
• mice lack elongating spermatids unlike wild-type mice
|
• mice exhibit many round, pachytene-like spermatocytes with degenerating nuclei unlike wild-type mice
|
• marker staining indicates that the synaptonemal complex does not assemble correctly in spermatocytes unlike in wild-type cells
|
• before the pachytene stage
|
• beginning at P15
|
• at P19 and P24
|
• primary spermatocytes exhibit activation of long terminal repeats (LTRs) and LINE-1 retrotransposons unlike in wild-type cells
|
• beginning at P15, some tubules show massive TUNEL staining of the most mature spermatocytes
