Pre- and Postmeiotic Expression of Male Germ Cell-Specific Genes Throughout 2-Week Cocultures of Rat Germinal and Sertoli Cells1
1 Jul 1997
Abstract excerpt
The present study was aimed at examining, by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, the expression of germ cell-specific genes in cocultures of Sertoli cells with either pachytene spermatocytes (PS) or round spermatids (RS). In situ hybridization studies showed that the mRNAs encoding phosphoprotein p19 and the testis-specific histone TH2B were specifically expressed in PS whereas those encoding the...
