Abstract excerpt
The Arf tumor suppressor is expressed transiently during mouse male germ cell and eye development. Its inactivation compromises spermatogenesis as mice age and leads to aberrant postnatal proliferation of cells in the vitreous of the eye, resulting in blindness. In the testis, expression of p19(Arf) is limited to spermatogonia but is extinguished completely in spermatocytes, suggesting that Arf plays a...
