Immunolocalization of the enzyme cytochrome P450c 17 in the vaginal epithelium, and testes of Spix cavy. a immunoreactivity in basal cells (arrow) of the epithelium (e); (ct) connective tissue at diestrus. b immunoreactivity in surface cells (arrow) of the epithelium (e); (ct) connective tissue at proestrus. c immunoreactivity in epithelium cells (arrow); (ct) connective tissue at metestrus. d immunoreactivity (arrow) in basal cells (b); (c) cornified cells; (ct) connective tissue at estrus. e no immunoreactivity in epithelium cells (e) or connective tissue (ct). Negative control. f immunoreactivity in Leydig cells of the testicle (arrow). Spermatozoa (arrowhead). Positive control. Bars = 20 μm
