Localization of ZAR1 mRNA in porcine ovaries and testis by in situ hybridization. ISH was performed using specific 35S-labeled antisense (a, c, e, g, i) and control sense (b, d, f, h, j) probes. Dark-field images (a, g, bar 100 μm) showed ZAR1 expression within follicles in ovary and inside of seminiferous tubules in testis. It focused in oocytes of primary (c, bar 10 μM) and pre-antral follicles (e, bar 50 μM) and mainly in round spermatids (rs) but neither in oblong spermatids (os) no in primary spermatocytes (sc) – image i, bar 10 μM.
