Figure 8. Immunohistochemical Analysis of ART3 Expression in Human Testes.

Figure 8

Representative seminiferous tubules in testicular sections from normal controls (A, B), OA (C–E), and NOA patients (F–H) are shown. Arrows indicate spermatocytes (SPC); spermatids (SPT); and Sertoli cells (SC) (B). ART3 protein was immunostained with anti-ART3 antibody; ART3-positive spermatocytes (SPC) are noted as brown staining cells (A–E). No marked differences in testicular ART3 expression among the three ART3 diplo-groups carrying none, one, or two copies of the protective haplotype H1were observed in OA (C–E) and NOA (F–H) patients. Magnification is 60× except in (B) (120×).
