TUNEL staining testicular sections

Figure 2. TUNEL staining of representative light micrographs of 4-µm-thick testicular sections from MIS and control-treated rats on Day 15 after EDS treatment. A) Control rat. B and C) MIS-treated rats. Most of the TUNEL-positive nuclei are located within the seminferous tubules and correspond to germ cells. Arrow: interstitial cell with TUNEL-positive nucleus. Scale bar = (A and B) 100 µm and (C) 25 µm. (Salva A, et al. Biology of Reproduction 2004;70:600-607)
