Lack of germ cells in TIAR-deficient testes and ovaries. Hematoxylin and eosin-stained histological sections of tiar^+/+ (A) and tiar^−/− (B) adult testes at low magnification (60-fold), tiar^+/+ (C) and tiar^−/− (D) adult testes at high magnification (240-fold), tiar^+/+ (E) and tiar^−/− (F) adult ovaries at low magnification (60-fold), and tiar^+/+ (G) and tiar^−/− (H) adult ovaries at high magnification (240-fold). No significant difference was observed between tiar^+/+ and tiar^+/− adult gonads (data not shown). (Bar = 200 μm for low magnification and 50 μm for high magnification.)
