From: Lifelong testicular differentiation in Pleurodeles waltl(Amphibia, Caudata)
Undifferentiated status of the anterior part of the testis linked to the lung. RT-PCR analysis of different markers was carried out for three regions of the testis of a 9.5-month-old male: the anterior part linked to the lung (Ant), the medium part (Med) and the posterior part differentiated in a first testis lobe (Post). Marker genes: Vasa for germ cells, Dmc1 for meiosis entry, Dmrt1 for testis differentiation; Gapdh is the control gene.
