Caption A: Hematoxylin and eosin staining of cross sections of testes from 12 dpp control (left) and Dnmt3ltm1Bes/Dnmt3ltm1Bes (right) mice. Germ cells do not appear to be entering meiosis in the absence of DNMT3L (right panel). B: Immunoperoxidase staining of germ cells with GCNA1 antibody (brown) in testis sections of 10 dpp (top) and 8 dpp (bottom) control and mutant mice. C: Graphical representation of germ cell counts in control and mutant mouse testes. A difference in germ cell count is observed as early as 6 dpp in absence of DNMT3L. By 10 dpp, mutant males have approximately a quarter of the number of germ cells their control littermates have. For each time point, GCNA-1 positive germ cells were count per 2000 Sertoli cells; two to three males were examined per genotype. Results are presented as means +/- SEM; mean counts for individual males are presented as dots when only two mice were analyzed.
