Phenotype Image Detail
Image
Caption Testes and epididymides from 7 week old wild-type (+/+) and Tex15tm1Jw/Tex15tm1Jw (-/-) mice were subject to histological analysis. A: A wild-type seminiferous tubule contains a full spectrum of germ cells; zygotene spermatocytes (Z), pachytene spermatocytes (P), and elongating spermatids (ES). B: In some mutant seminiferous tubules, two to three layers of zygotene-like spermatocytes (arrows) are present. C: Mutant tubules with large but lightly stained degenerating spermatocytes (arrows). D: Mutant tubules with only a single layer of early spermatogenic and Sertoli cells (arrow). E: Wild-type epididymal tubules were full of spermatozoa. F: Epididymal tubules from mutant mice were devoid of germ cells. Bar: 50 um.
