SYCP3 protein immunodetection in . In all samples the synaptonemal complex lateral elements are observed. The nuclei were stained with DAPI (in blue) and SYCP3 protein is shown in green. (a) Meiotic cell in pachytene phase after 15 days of culture of a 6.5 dpp explant. (b) Meiotic cell in late leptotene phase of an adult sample. (c) Two different cells (separated by dot lines in red) The upper cell (arrow) corresponds to a spermatogonia cell. The lower cell corresponds to a meiotic cell in pachytene phase after 14 culture days of a 6.5 dpp explant. Scale bars represent = 5 μm (a, b) and 25 μm (c)
