Expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen in the mouse germ line and surrounding somatic cells suggests both proliferation-dependent and -independent modes of function

Abstract excerpt

The distribution of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in specific somatic and germ cells of the adult mouse ovary and testis was assessed using immunocytochemical staining and immunoblot analysis and was correlated with cellular proliferation and differentiation. In the adult ovary, immunocytochemical staining for PCNA within follicular cells varied depending on the stage of follicular growth. Since PCNA...
