Figure 1From: Whole ovary immunohistochemistry for monitoring cell proliferation and ovulatory wound repair in the mouseBrdU staining of ovary sections and whole ovaries in superovulated mice. BrdU was administered to the mice 10 hours after hCG injection and the ovaries were isolated 2 hours after BrdU injection. The distribution of cells with incorporated BrdU was determined by staining paraffin-embedded ovary sections (A, C, E) and whole ovaries (B, D, F, G) with anti-BrdU antibody. Arrowheads indicate BrdU positive cells below the ovarian surface epithelial layer. Abbreviations: af, antral follicle; cl, corpus luteum; o, ovulatory wound; or, recent ovulatory wound.Back to article page
