Caption Gross and histological analyses of spermatogenic abnormalities. (a) Reduced testis size in Pafah1b3tm1Cla/Pafah1b3tm1Cla Pafah1b2Gt(Betageo)1Cla/Pafah1b2Gt(Betageo)1Cla and restored testis size in Pafah1b3tm1Cla/Pafah1b3tm1Cla Pafah1b2Gt(Betageo)1Cla/Pafah1b2Gt(Betageo)1Cla Pafah1b1tm1Awb/Pafah1b1+ mice. (b) Testis weights of 8 week old wild type and mutant mice (means +/-SEM, n=10). (c-n) Testicular (x200 in c,e,g,i,k and m) and epididymal (x200 in d,f,h,j,l and n) histology of adult (8 week old) wild type ( c & d), Pafah1b3tm1Cla/Pafah1b3tm1Cla (e & f), Pafah1b2Gt(Betageo)1Cla/Pafah1b2Gt(Betageo)1Cla (g & h), Pafah1b3tm1Cla/Pafah1b3tm1Cla Pafah1b2Gt(Betageo)1Cla/Pafah1b2Gt(Betageo)1Cla (i & j), Pafah1b3tm1Cla/Pafah1b3tm1Cla Pafah1b2Gt(Betageo)1Cla/Pafah1b2Gt(Betageo)1Cla Pafah1b1tm1Awb/Pafah1b1+ (k & l) and Pafah1b1tm1Awb/Pafah1b1+ (m & n) mice. Note that the degenerating germ cells (D), multinucleated giant cells (M), and numerous vacuoles (V) are present in tubules of the testes of mice in g,i, k and m. Some tubules are devoid of germ cells (*), leaving only Sertoli cells in seminiferous epithelium in mice in i.
