Figure 4. — Most germ cell corpses in unc-108(n3263) mutants are engulfed but remain undegraded. TEM of gonadal tissues containing one engulfed (A) and one unengulfed (B) germ cell corpse in unc-108(n3263) adult hermaphrodites 48 h after the L4 larval stage. (b) A schematic diagram of panel a. GC, germ cell; SC, gonadal sheath cell. (c) 3× view of boxed region in panel a. Plasma membranes of sheath cells (arrows) and cell corpses (arrowheads) are marked. Bars, 1 μm. (C) Percentage of engulfed cell corpses as scored by TEM in hermaphrodites 48 h after the L4 stage. The numbers of germ cell corpses scored under DIC optics are reported as mean ± SD (n = 15). (asterisk) Data from Yu et al. (2006).
