Figure 2

Immunohistochemical localization of various Bcl-2 family proteins in healthy, atretic and cystic follicles of normal cycling and COD rats. Positive staining is shown as brown colouring of the cytoplasm of the cells. Figures A, D, G and J correspond to healthy tertiary follicles; B, E, H and K correspond to atretic follicles and C, F, I and L correspond to cystic follicles. (A-C) Bax immunolocalization, (D-F) Bcl-2 immunolocalization, (G-I) Bcl-xL immunolocalization and (J-L) Bcl-w immunolocalization. G: Granulosa, TI: Theca Interna, TE: Theca Externa. Bars = 20 μm.
