Phenotype Image Detail
Image
Caption Comparative anatomy and histology are shown for wild type (+/+) and Sbf1tm1Mlc/Sbf1tm1Mlc (-/-) testes. (a and b) Male reproductive organs are shown for mice at 20 weeks of age. Mutant testis, but not epididymis, is considerably smaller compared with wild type (x2). (c and d) Sections of epididymis from 20 week old mice were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (x200). Note absence of spermatozoa in mutant epididymis. (e-n) Sections of wild type and mutant testes at different stages of spermatogenic development (specific time points indicated in the respective panels) were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (x200). Testes from mutant mice show extensive vacuolar degeneration that is apparent at day 17 and is followed by complete depletion of germ cells by 52 weeks.
