Fig. 2. Functional gametes were obtained using iPGCT.

a Schematic diagram for iPGCT using Tg(cmv:GFP) embryos as iPGCT donors and Tg(cmv:mCherry) embryos as iPGCT hosts. b After iPGC transplantation, host embryos expressed mCherry and germ cells expressed GFP. c Immunofluorescence detection of Vasa in GFP-positive germ cells of iPGCT gonads at 32 dpf. Note that gonadal somatic cells expressed mCherry. d H&E staining of Tg(cmv:GFP) and iPGCT testes. SC spermatocyte, ST spermatid, SZ spermatozoa. e Immunofluorescence detection of Sycp3 and PCNA showing normal meiosis and mitosis of germ cells in iPGCT testis and control testis at 90 dpf. f Immunofluorescence detection of Vasa in GFP-positive germ cells of iPGCT testes at 90 dpf. Rectangular boxes 1 and 2 show the development of gonads on both sides of the iPGCT embryo, respectively. g The iPGCT fish expressing mCherry produced sperm expressing GFP, and F1 and F2 generations expressing GFP were obtained. A representative example of three replicate is shown.
