The developing human ovary: immunohistochemical analysis of germ-cell-specific VASA protein, BCL-2/BAX expression balance and apoptosis
15 May 2008
Abstract excerpt
Germ cell number during ovarian organogenesis is regulated through programmed cell death. We investigated the expression of germ-cell-specific VASA protein, apoptosis-related proteins BAX and BCL-2 and DNA fragmentation in developing human ovaries from gestation week 12 to term. Human fetal ovaries from 13 women undergoing spontaneous abortion were fixed, paraffin-embedded and processed for immunohistochemistry...
