Abnormal manchette development in spermatids of <i>azh</i>/<i>azh</i> mutant mice
1 May 1990
Abstract excerpt
A study of manchette development during spermiogenesis in azh/azh mutant mice was carried out by thin-section transmission electron microscopy with the goal of determining which of the initial steps in spermatid development are aberrant. In the homozygous mutant, spermatogenesis was quantitatively normal; but 100% of the sperm nuclei produced had abnormal shapes. The first defect, observed in steps 8-9, was the...
