Immunolocalization of CD9 on the plasma membrane of oocytes from vehicle-control and TCE-treated rats. Females were exposed to TCE for 3 days via drinking water, and received an estimated 0.66 g TCE/kg body weight/day based on the average water consumption of 10 mL/100 g body weight. (A) Representative oocyte from vehicle-control female showing immunofluoresent labeling of CD9. Scale bar represents 20 microns. (B) Representative oocyte from TCE-treated female showing immunofluoresent labeling of CD9. (C) Average densitometry values from oocytes of vehicle-control and TCE-treated rats. Three replicates were assessed. After exposure of females to TCE, oocytes expressed significantly more CD9 as determined by immunofluorescence measurements. ★ indicates P<0.05 compared with the vehicle control.
